martijntiny,

welcome to RP!

ya know, there was a thread about this recently, but i'll be darned if i know where to find it now. try a search on 'intertitles' in the various forums. i know someone mentioned that name so you shld be able to find it with that.

ah, ok. well, you could try a google search. i really dont have anything on this other than that other thread. and, you could always just make something yourself. perhaps a sketch of what you're looking for would help folks help you here.

Hello MartijnTiny

You could probably take a look at this site: Acidfonts .

They have a lot of free fonts there that may be helpfull.

Hi, Martijn, I could not find many examples on the internet of what you want, so I just sort of made one up. As said before, there are sites online where you can download border brushes that could probably give a good result. But I just made one here in Photoshop using the Marquis select tool and the stroke command. If you would like detailed instructions, just ask. I downloaded the free Nickelodian font from here which seems to look authentic enough:
