I agree the existing shadow offset functionality is very similar to what I'm suggesting. I'm mainly aiming for a four-sided shadow/highlight.
In the OP's image, the lower left "chat" text has an omnidirectional black glow effect using offset clones with the left, top, and right at ~30% alpha, and the bottom at 100% alpha.
My understanding is that the existing font shadow functionality can only apply to two sides at once (one x, one y), although please correct me if I'm mistaken.
