I am just starting out in OpenGL, and it is going pretty well. I am using wglUseFontOutlines() to create 3D text, and I have managed to display it at an angle, in a big Comic Sans MS font. Wonderful.

The problem is that the face of the text has no edge, and the object is all the same colour. Is there a way or trick to get an edge to the face of the letters so that you can tell which is the front or back and which is the side, and is it possible to get the sides a different colour from the faces? Any way, official or hacked, will do.

If you don't understand what I'm getting at, take a look at the Windows '95 OpenGL text screensaver - those letters have distinct edges.
