I'd like to achieve such a result, like when you apply a glowing effect to a text in an image editor.
As I am already using tikz
package in my document, it would be prefferable to use tikz's library.
I found out, that there is a shadows.blur
one which would create a soft shadow. Then I would shift it so that it looks like a glowing effect.
However, unfortunately, this attempt makes a rectangle rather than the text's shadow.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shadows.blur}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[preaction={blur shadow={shadow xshift=-.5mm,shadow yshift=.5mm}}] at (1,1) {Test};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

You could use a combination of tikz and contour package.
or just
