No, that wouldn't work..
What you are going to need is a script that creates the text twice,
using layers, as you guessed in your question. This is why I was
curious. I'm sure it is possible to do, it wouldn't look exactly like
your current page, because the text would be "cleaner", you would see
the white space in the holes of B's and O's and that sort of thing.
The PHP is going to need to read the file of text for the area, do a
bit of math with letter spacing and line size, send out one layer in
bold white, and then over that, a smaller fontsize, spaced right in
bold black. The letter spacing is going to be the trick for the top
layer.
This function or method would probably present some problems inside
tables. These are just hints because I thought your idea was pretty
cool and your website looked good as well. It's good also that you are
looking to go to a more text based layout, rather than all those
images paneling out. Off the top of my head however, the functioning
of this is not going to be an easy thing to write, and I wish you luck
on it.
