Hi the1scottyc
Welcome to the Forum. 🙂
Whilst Pages will not do a true stroke or outline of text, Indesign, Illustrator, and many other programs that do this, are available on the Mac. It is not a shortcoming of the Mac.

I realise that, and I am really enjoying my new mac. I just think that this task is probably something that a lot of people like to do, especially children who make posters for homework etc. I just assumed that most software did this with relative ease nowadays.
Unfortunately this is convoluted, clumsy, offers limited control and results in a graphic with rough edges.
Turning the text into a bitmap is pointless, better to turn it into a vector pdf.

Any bitmap will have staircased edges whether you may notice them or not.
