Here is a simple easy solution to make it at least acceptable. Place a good font you find from http://en.dafont.com I like Drakon and do the following... Text Options: Strong Text Settings - Blending Options (The black F at the bottom of the layers panel on the left) Blending Options: Soft Light Drop Shadow: Multiply, 75%, Black, Distance: 3 Spread: 0 Size: 1 Bevel & Emboss Depth: 1% Size: 0 Soften: 0 Stroke: 1 Pixel Black (or white depending on color of sig, if lighter then black, if darker then white)

I'll pin this for you. -PINNED- EDIT: One question though. I downloaded a font, but it won't let me use it anywhere. Can you elaborate on that part a bit more? I saved the font to a file in my computer, but how do I actually USE the font?

Ehh, unpinned, people have their different choices on text. ...although it can be helpful to many. Btw, NEVER use Bevel and Emboss...use gradient overlays. Bevel and Emboss is just...ugly. Lol.

Posts: 2,103 Group: Retired Staff Member #1,870 Joined: November 4, 2006 Gender Male Country United States	And, why shouldn't this be pinned exactly? I thought that if it was helpful, and the author wanted it to be pinned, it should be pinned.

If you want it pinned so badly, then in the topic it should list ALL of the blending options with all of the best/favorite settings to use, then it'll be considered helpful. And aside from that, no pro GFX Designer uses B and E.

Posts: 2,103 Group: Retired Staff Member #1,870 Joined: November 4, 2006 Gender Male Country United States	Can somebody help me figure out how to use those texts? Like I said, I downloaded and saved them but can't figure out how to use them.

Posts: 2,103 Group: Retired Staff Member #1,870 Joined: November 4, 2006 Gender Male Country United States	I just tried doing that and it didn't do anything. Here's what I tried: 1) I opened the zipped file and dragged the font file into the font folder, but absolutely nothing happened. Then... 2) I dragged the entire zipped file into the font folder and it said it couldn't install the font because the file was invalid or damaged. What did I do wrong?

FireFox 3	try this Quote: from me.. lol this is after u have already downloaded the font and u have extracted the file Quote: i have another way probably simpler. For XP: 1. Copy the font file. 2. Click "Start" on task bar. 3. Click "Control Panel". 4. Click "Apperence and Themes". 5. On the top left side look for "See Also". 6. Click "Font". 7. Paste it in that folder.
