How to place a border on characters ?
Do you mean what is called text outline?

No, not a shadow but something like that
Something like what?
Would it be possible to post an image of what you'd like to achieve?
take a look at the image sent earlier (book title with letters edged in black) !
Ok, by zooming in, I saw what you're looking for.
Then, it's exactly what Nermander showed.
You have to activate the outline and then set a color for it.
OK, OK...
Thank you
Yes, the button (O) I circled is for adding an outline to the characters, the one to the right of it (S) is for adding shadow.
