[url=http://www.yummielicious.com/fonts/bangalore.zip]Bangalore[/url](click to download)
There are many more pixel fonts but I use redensek and bangalore.
1. Make a New Document: 100x25 transparent
2. Get the Text Tool and write whatever you want (the font im using is redensek)Use a light color i am using #f49ac1 Make sure the the thing with the 2 "a" is set to none:
And if you are using [u]Redensek[/u] make sure the font size is 12
And if you are using [u]Bangalore[/u] make sure the font size is 8
(zoomed 500%)
3. Rasterize Layer : Layer>>Rasterize>>Layer
4. Now get the Magic Wand tool and select the letters while holding Shift
5. Expand Select>>Modify>>Expand and put 1 for the Expand Selection thing.([u]DONT[/u] DESELECT YET)
6. Make a New Layer (CTRL+SHIFT+N) and put that new layer under the first layer and fill it with a darker shade. (i used #f06eaa) then deselect (CTRL+D)
This is how it should look like:
7. Now go back to the original layer where you wrote whatever. and get your pencil tool
and choose the Hard Round 1 Pixel thing
choose [u]white[/u] as your foreground color and use the pencil tool and click the top left corner of each letter and it should turn out like this!:
zoomed %500
Normal:
Redensek
Bangalore
i Hope i didnt confuse anyone :unsure:

That's pretty good, the only thing I do differently is instead of selecting the text after rasterizing the layer, I just add a 1px stroke to it. When I change the mode to 'Index', it automatically makes the edges hard for me. One less step?
