I can't remember if the list allows uploading a file, but I'll try it.
Attached (I hope) is a small sample file. In case it doesn't make it,
you can recreate it by creating a simple line at a diagonal, then
placing a text box on top. In the text box type or enter enough text to
cover the line. I used Junicode 12 points. Select some of the text and
apply a 3% white outline. 

What happens is that the text to which the white outline is applied
appears thinner than the other text.
