Drawing a halo around text

["Matt Hoosier" <matt hoosier gmail com>]

Hi,

I'd like to draw some text over the top of a user-supplied splash
screen. Because I can't know what the color scheme contained in that
image will be, I need to do something like paint a small (1-pixel ?)
border of known color around the edges of my glyphs, in order to
guarantee that the lettering is visible.

Is there a way to convince Pango to do that sort of thing?
