Description of the new feature/enhancement

Option for Character Edge styles, like None, Drop Shadow, Raised, Depressed, and Outline for text as an alternative appearance effect which would enhance readability on bright backgrounds. A subtle, but noticeable feature that adds flexibility.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
