#35 Font Drop Shadow Support

Hi!

One thing I still miss from older days is Eterm having a nice drop shadow font effect. In certain situations this makes the text much easier to read.

I made a patch for iTerm which works for me. I also had a quick play with the Interface Builder stuff to get a click-button to toggle it the same as Anti Alias, but the diff for that is pretty useless so I'll leave that bit up to you (it's likely I did it wrong anyway as it's the first time I've used it).

So, hope this is useful, would like to see it incorporated upstream.

Cheers,

Patch for font drop shadow support

[Anonymous]

Sorry, I forgot a bug: previously I couldn't figure out a way to get the shadow turned off in the cursor but enabled for when using a background image. Recent commits to iTerm moved the background stuff out of _drawCharacter so it's enabled everywhere right now. I'll try to come up with a better patch, but if you have a quick way to fix this it'd be appreciated. Thanks.

Updated patch, fixes cursor and background colour shadows

Updated patch attached, this resolves all problems I've had, so that text only has a shadow when using the default background colour. Cursors and background-filled text now looks correct.
