There is currently no text-outline property in CSS. You can (sort of) do an outline using the text-shadow property by setting the x and y offsets to 0 and the blur-radius to 1px. The problem is it’s not opaque enough.
You can, however, apply multiple text-shadow filters. If you add enough you can get sufficent opacity. Here’s an example:
text-shadow: 0px 0px 1px #FFFFFF,
0px 0px 1px #FFFFFF,
0px 0px 1px #FFFFFF,
0px 0px 1px #FFFFFF,
0px 0px 1px #FFFFFF,
0px 0px 1px #FFFFFF,
0px 0px 1px #FFFFFF,
0px 0px 1px #FFFFFF;
