contrasting shadows for text

[John Oram]

hey-

Is there any way to add drop shadows to text?  As far as I can tell 
shadows apply only to objects, not text.

I'd like something contrasting, like you see when you roll over the 
icon of an app in the Dock.

I can hack drop shadows now by replicating the text and making it 
white and moving it behind, and down and over a pixel, and grouping 
it.  Needless to say, this is a little time-confusing...
