drop shadow on super pixel font?

[Persistent1]

Hey 'yall...I am curious about how designers like Joshua Davis( http://www.joshuadavis.com/pound.html ) are getting what appears to be a drop shadow on the pixel fonts used in there sites ...if you click on the section "web", you should be able to see what I am refering to

if anyone can help me out in finding how this is done or can point me in the direction of some info as to how exactly this is done, i would be very greatful. Thanks.

It just seems to be one white and one black version of the same text.

thanks pellepiano for your reply..if thats true..how would one do that using dynamic text feilds, which I am sure he is using ?

seems to me you be using a style sheet to call both external files to be loaded into the same text filed, but twice..right? If so, how ?

Thanks

Why two external files?

You would have two textfields, one black and one white that you load the same text into.

ok, sorry. i meant two text fileds ..not external files..anyway, so your saying i would slightly off-set each text-field to appear to the viewer that there is really only one text-filed with a drop shadow on the font..correct?

..and the same external file is read into both the tex-fields, but one controled by the style sheet to be black..and the other one to be white..right?

As you should never have two textfields named the same you could name them field1 and field two and to load the same variable into both , simply use.....

field1=news;
field2=news;

...when the textfile is loaded.
