Coloured Frame for Plane Numbers?

[Old-Nepo]

Hallo All,

I'm working on skins in IL2 and I have a question for the plane numbers.

For the german planes I use the DIN1451 font but the coulour is unic only.

How can I easily create a red or black frame around the numbers?

I tryed it in WORD but the frame is too small.

I painted the frame manually in GIMP but the result is poor.

Have somebody an idear?

Thanks in advance and br

Just to ensure I understand the effect you are trying to create, is it similar to the outlining shown in this tutorial? If so let me know, I recently had a link to a GIMP tutorial on this subject.

Oh yes... it is exactly what I am looking for...but for GIMP.

Thanks in advance

Ah OK, well I have not written a tutorial on that topic myself yet. I do have a link which you might find useful though, at an external site. Hope this helps!
