Herb,

As I learned it, fonts that are solid color, but with a knocked-out line following partly or completely around the letterforms are called "inline", not "outline" fonts.

Outline fonts are those which have a "hollow" appearance, with their shapes defined by a line following the outer edge of the letterforms.
