+1 the text isnt evenly spaced like
Line 1
Line 2
they are too close
it becomes a bad combo with the font

First step when making a tutorial, is making sure people are actually able to read it. Since that's your main goal.
This font is horrible, and makes on-screen reading even harder then it allready is.
General rule of thumb:
- Headlines, heads, important statements, highlights = A typical
Sans-serif font.
- Parts where people are gonna have to do some reading: A typical
serif font. This font gets it's name from serifs (tails) on the non capital letters, that point towards the next letter/word thus making it easier to read/follow.
- Decorative fonts, is a whole other group, and typically used to be stupid on the net really

I dont get the first step, if I try
Filter > Distort > Displace... there appears some really *****.. Im Displace it with the normal settings.
I have a Transparant layer, then I load my render (Layer 2) Than I try the Displace thing... What is the wrong move? ^^
Sjoerd, sorry for the bad English!

Heheh, thanks. Used this font on purpose, I love it, but will use your advice in next ones. Cheers.
@Sjoerd: I don't get what you mean. When you do the Distort>Displace filter your unresized render, it will become.. weird, but suitable for a BG. Make sure it flows well.

Don't resize it yet, lol. And displace it a couple of times.
