    Hello!

    I'm trying to add a photoshop-style "outer glow" effect to canvas based text.



    I've tried the Standard Assets bloom shader, but it doesn't seem to apply to the canvas.
    Can you write GLSL shaders for text? If not, what are my other options?

    Have you tried adding an outline component to your text and tweaking the settings?
