Is it possible to get cut out text effect like this using CSS/CSS3 only?

Question

Is it possible to get cut out text effect like this using CSS/CSS3 only? or image is the only option to get this effect.

Answer 1

What you really need for that particular effect is inset:

    text-shadow: inset #000 0 0 0.10em; /* THIS DOESN'T WORK */

Unfortunately: " is the same as defined for the ‘box-shadow’ property except that the ‘inset’ keyword is not allowed."
