[scribus] Text outlining

[Benjamin Dumke]

Here's how I usually do it:

Duplicate the text, so you have the same text frame twice, directly
above each other. Leave the top one as it is; apply the outline effect
to the bottom one (possibly with a higher percentage). That will leave
the original characters' shapes alone, while still giving you outlines.
