Can I have a stroke around the letters in a TextBlock?

Question

Is there any way I can add a stroke to the letters of a TextBlock, but I can't seem to figure out the properties:

    <TextBlock Text="Hello World">
        <TextBlock.Resources>
            <Stroke ?>

I cant seem to find the right documentation, as I suspect is not the same as the WPF?

That is not something that you can just set. You would need to have a font that already has a stroke defined — Shawn Kendrot, Mar 24 '14 at 19:53

Generally links as answers are discouraged, and this answer in particular is for WPF and is like [this example on msdn](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745816(v=vs.110).aspx) whereas WP8 is more based on Silverlight, just as a side note. – Chris W. Mar 24 '14 at 20:00
No use typing another mans question if it so nicely answered on another thread. However as for WPF vs WP8 - spot on. – Daniel ZA Mar 24 '14 at 20:11

If there's already another mans question matching the criteria then mark it as a duplicate to be closed. :) – Chris W. Mar 24 '14 at 20:19
