Thank you. I now have it working nicely.

Has anyone managed this, short of creating a separate layer for
the stroke? The Google machine doesn't seem to provide any answers.
Since CATextLayer uses an attributed string, why can't you just
set the attributes to have the text stroked (set the
NSStrokeColorAttributeName appropriately, and then use a negative
value for the NSStrokeWidthAttributeName to indicate that the text
should be both stroked and filled).
That is what I would expect; however, the layer does not stroke the
text.
The CATextLayer uses Core Text to do its drawing, so it supports
what Core Text supports (and I'm not familiar with what the
limitations are here). It will likely be simpler to draw the text
yourself into a plain CALayer rather than try to make the
CATextLayer do what you want to do.
