Hello guys! Can someone please help me with a few hints for a composable like this - I need an outlined text with transparency. I did some investigation and the closest thing i found is custom drawing on the canvas, and it looks kinda overcomplicated for the task. Maybe someone did something similar?

I think your best bet would just be to find a font that’s outlined like that. Here’s a few examples on Google Fonts https://fonts.google.com/?query=outline

unfortunately, I have to use exactly Helvetica Neue and I couldn't find an outlined version of the font

[Casey Brooks]

There’s a bold version of that font from a quick Google search, https://www.linotype.com/1264148/neue-helvetica-75-bold-outline-product.html. You might just ask your designer for the font files they used to create that image, they might already have the outlined font so you wouldn’t have to buy it again

you are right, thank you! Then it's a valid option if there is no other way to do this from the code.

I don’t know what you want to do with it but would a conversion to SVG be an option for you?
E.g., https://danmarshall.github.io/google-font-to-svg-path/

Text must be dynamic, so ideally it has to be just a Text composable of some sort. But thanks anyway!
