Outline Font Drawing

To draw some outline text I use the following code

BeginPath(canvashandle);
canvas.textout(10, 10, 'Hello World');
EndPath(canvashandle);
StrokePath(canvashandle);

This works just fine.
Now I need to draw a widestring variable. Instead of Textout I'm using the
following procedure:

BeginPath(canvashandle);
ExtTextOutW(canvashandle, 10, 10, ETO_CLIPPED, @GRect,
pWideChar(ws), Length(ws), nil);
EndPath(canvashandle);
StrokePath(canvashandle);

This however doesn't seem to work. The Textout and ExtTextOutW
procedures both work without the Beginpath/Endpath.

Any ideas how I can fix this? I need to be able to draw Widestring outlined
strings to a canvas.

Thanks,
Peter
