This is what I ended up with:

def outline_text(ctx, x, y, txt):
    ctx.set_source_rgba(1, 1, 1, 1)
    ctx.set_line_width(2)
    ctx.move_to(x, y)
    ctx.text_path(txt)
    ctx.stroke()
    ctx.set_source_rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)
    ctx.move_to(x, y)
    ctx.show_text(txt)


It looks great !

thanks,

Simon.
