Hi Dan
Thank you for the reply.
We are setting the text color using
kATSUColorTag/kATSURGBAlphaColorTag. We need to support OS versions
10.3.9 onwards, so we are afraid that we can not use CoreText. ATSU
does not support 'outline' styled texts, so we found the workaround in
the link mentioned. As per the discussion in the list how do I set the
FillColor's Alpha to 0 to make it transparent in ATSU. Or, is there
any other way to draw text with outline style in ATSU?
Thank you,
