Another method: in addition to the normal font, create an outline font with a thick enough outline. (This is a matter of copying the font dictionary, changing /PaintType and adding the outline width; don't have the details at hand right now.) Print the text twice, starting at the same position, once with the normal font and then with the outline font. It doesn't necessarily look (much) better then stroke/filling the charpath, but avoids using complex paths and text remains text (is not converted to graphics elements).
