The absurdity that this incredibly basic feature is still not implemented is off the charts. What the fuck is the hold up?
Yes, I know several workarounds (add a stroke in the appearance panel and drag it below the characters, or make a graphic style with an outside-aligned stroke and apply it to text) but fuck that. Adobe is the "industry leader" and they can't manage something that's been present in other "lesser" software for decades?
Apple just got around to adding a calculator to the iPad. Don’t be left in the dust, Adobe!
The year is 2024 and I still cannot align a stroke to the outside of live text.
