As Neil says, you can create your own with Illustrator (or Corel Draw, 
or similar).

"Outline" is used to indicate two different things � either "hollow" 
characters or those with lines around the outside of otherwise solid 
characters.

There are a few serif fonts with outline variants that have been 
produced by major foundries. Most commercial outline fonts are sans-serif.

For example,

Adobe:
   Monotype Old Style Std Bold

Berthold:
   Concorde

Bitstream:
    Cooper Black
    Windsor

Agfa/Monotype:
    Barclay
    Torino
    Yearbook

Apostrophic Labs (free):
   Street Slab

Googling for
      outline fonts
will find you LOTS more!
