In the off topic forum there was recently mention of bordered characters.
It's a hack, but you can get somewhat of a bordered character effect in
POV-Ray where you are using a font which offers different styles like
regular, bold, italic and bolditalic.
You can place additional text{} objects with differing fonts slightly
behind the regular style font.
Because of how fonts typically work they are often constrained
vertically so it is a hack - but quick...
In the attached image.
On the left LiberationMono-Regular.ttf with LiberationMono-Bold.ttf
behind.
In the middle LiberationMono-Regular.ttf with
LiberationMono-Italic.ttf behind.
On the right Roboto-Regular.ttf with Roboto-Bold.ttf behind. Showing
that though this font isn't a mono-pitch font (it supports kerning) the
trick / effect is the same per character because the kerning seems to
often (always?) be the same across styles.
