text in Photoshop

[Chaky]

I have a question regarding text in Photoshop. I'm using version 6 and I would like to produce text that is "hollow." That is to say, that it isn't filled in with a color, only an outline of the letters would be visible. I would also like to be able to vary the thickness of the outline, if possible. If this is possible, then is it also possible to place other images behind the text and still be able to see them through the hollow text?

thanks,

im not sure if this is what you are after but it might point you in the right direction.

There is many outline fonts available, but to accomplish this with a normal font i would usually rasterize the layer, and then use blending options --> stroke to add the border
