white stroke and transparent fill

hey guys, wonder if there's anyone good with css here 😅 can anyone tell me why this outline looks like this? I don't quite understand how this text stroke thing works

.outline {
  color: white;
  text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 #000, 1px -1px 0 #000, -1px 1px 0 #000, 1px 1px 0 #000;
}


@supports ((text-stroke: 2px black) or (-webkit-text-stroke: 2px black)) {
  .outline {
    color: transparent;
    -webkit-text-stroke: 2px white;
    text-stroke: 2px black;
    text-shadow: none;
  }
}

.outline {
  color: white;
  text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 #000, 1px -1px 0 #000, -1px 1px 0 #000, 1px 1px 0 #000;
}


@supports ((text-stroke: 2px black) or (-webkit-text-stroke: 2px black)) {
  .outline {
    color: transparent;
    -webkit-text-stroke: 2px white;
    text-stroke: 2px black;
    text-shadow: none;
  }
}

that's how it works in the browser. Just add a color to the text that's the same as the background color

As far as I know, every line used in the letter will become 2 px. What you are seeing is because they used multiple lines instead of "bending" 1 line at the edges and combining it... I don't think you will be able to make it work like you expect

ohh this is interesting to know didn't quite research into these before

SVGs are basically lines... someone didn't expect you to do what you did with the font 😂 technically you could make it work by modifying the font yourself
