[scribus] Characters outline

[Jean-Paul Gendner]

P E R F E C T
Exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you so much,
Jean-Paul

PS for the developers: it would be very nice to have 3 choices for the
Outline possibilities 1) Inner (actual way), 2) Outside (Greg solution), 3)
Centered (obtained after convert text to outline)
