Works like the fast outline method, but uses cardinal directions instead of diagonals. This generally looks better for pixelated fonts.

You could also treat this as a variant of OUTLINE_FAST. Renaming OUTLINE_FAST to OUTLINE_DIAGONAL might make things clearer, but it could break existing projects, so it’s probably not worth changing.

OUTLINE_FAST (diagonal)

OUTLINE (the normal one)

Does the same as the fast version of the outline but does it cardinally instead of diagonally

You could also consider it being a variant of OUTLINE_FAST.
I dont know if it were to be a good idea renaming OUTLINE_FAST into OUTLINE_DIAGONAL because of perhaps many projects using it
But it would definitely be a possibility
