writing string with given stroke width and font size in codenameone

I am trying to write String at given position in drawing and it works fine. I have implemented Slider in my app. And as the user changes the slider value I want the font and thickness of String to increase and decrease. Here is the code I tried

 Slider slider= new new Slider();
 slider.addDataChangedListener(new DataChangedListener() {

            @Override
            public void dataChanged(int type, int index) {
            this.setBrushGirth(index * 2);
            }
        });
        int offset = girth * 2;

    Font f= Font.createSystemFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, offset , offset);
    g.setFont(f);
    g.drawString("Hello World" , currentLine.startX + imageDrawnFromX, currentLine.startY + imageDrawnFromY);

Here girth is nothing but the value I get from slider movement. So, How do I set the stroke width for the text so that it increases or decreases according to value obtained from Slider. I can set the Font color of text but not this.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

We don't support that, stroke is only used to draw shapes and currently there is no API to convert text to a shape. I doubt if there ever will be.

The reason for this is simple, in order to do this we'd need to take over the drawing/kerning of text completely. This is something done by Swing/JavaFX which makes their text look different from the way the OS renders the same text. That's not something we want as it makes the app look less native.
