ok psicryptor....

-use the minifont and type whatever you want like your name.
-add a stroke to the font and make it like one pixel or 2 pixel stroke and change the color of it if you please
-click your text layer (which should already be highlighted) and switch the blending options from Normal to either Softlight or overlay
-and it comes out to be that effect

that only happens with filters. when you do a filter it has to convert ur text into an image and there is no way yet that u can edit ur text afterwards.

Only if the filter expands.. which then all problems will be solved.
