Is there no way to do it without a cell? I ask because I'm writing my own custom view and need to be able to do this with NSString's drawInRect, using a correct font attribute. The other poster's suggestion of just using a white text and shifting by 1.0 does not give me the desired effect since it also has the net effect of making the letters look thinner.
