Titles at DVinfo.net

Hey all, today I was working on some titles and wanted to do white text with a black outline and a drop shadow to give it some punch, but I couldn't find out how to outline the text in black, I know I could always go to another app, but for something so simple you'd think I could just do it in FCP (ver 5 btw)
TIA

4.5 has an Outline Text generator, and I can't imagine that disappeared in 5. I've only seen it used for subtitling, but I'm sure you could make it work for what you want to do.
