Java: Adjust outline thickness

I use this code: to outline a font:

public class MyText extends JPanel {
String text1 = null;
public MyText (String text) {
text1 = text;
}

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);
    setBackground(Color.white);
    int w = getSize().width;
    int h = getSize().height;
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
    FontRenderContext fontRendContext = g2d.getFontRenderContext();
    Font font = new Font("Verdana", 1, 72);
    String st = new String(text1);
    TextLayout text = new TextLayout(st, font, fontRendContext);

    Shape shape = text.getOutline(null);
    Rectangle rect = shape.getBounds();

    AffineTransform affineTransform = new AffineTransform();
    affineTransform = g2d.getTransform();
    affineTransform.translate(w / 2 - (rect.width / 2), h / 2
            + (rect.height / 2));
    g2d.transform(affineTransform);
    g2d.setColor(Color.black);
    g2d.draw(shape);
    g2d.setClip(shape);
}

The problem is I have no idea how to adjust the thickness of the outline. I tried displaying another bigger string over the first string, but the result is quite bad (wrong pixels...).

Hav you got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You can use setStroke. For example

g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(4));
