    Why not use TextMeshPro? It's way better in my opinion than the standard Unity UI text, and very easy to set up.

    Very easy is an over statement.
    1)go to store
    2)click import
    3)profit

    It does have outlines among a lot of features

    There's also the similar Shadow component to keep in mind. I've only ever used them on text, but I believe they can be used on a variety of UI objects.

    For TextMesh Pro in current versions of Unity I believe the Package Manager is the preferred method. It's basically the same process, just accessed from a different place.
