[2005] GDI+ Text Effects

[kleinma]

Just curious if anyone has come up with (or come across) some cool text drawing effects using GDI+

In an app I am working on, I need to write some text out to the background of an MDI form (shows when no MDI child is open)

anyway... I just write out some text information, like the customers name, the serial number, and some other information that is useful to the customer.

It looks very bland and plain just using a standard brush with a red or black (or other) color...

I have been messing around with trying to duplicate the text with an offset to create a drop shadow look, and also using gradientbrushes and TextureBrushes... ive made it look a little better, but I was wondering if any of you had come across something that looked really nice (not too flashy)
