1. Create a new image, dimensions 200x50 px.

2. Using the flood fill tool, fill the image with the colour you want your text's outline to be.

3. Click on the Text Tool. Make sure that the text will have a 0px stroke width, and will be a floating selection.

4. Type your text (the images you showed used pixel fonts).

5. With the text still selected, go to Selections->Modify->Expand, and expand the selection by 1 pixel.

6. Copy and paste the text onto the image of your choice.
