Help replicating Font Style in Photoshop?

Hey all,

Sorry if this is the wrong section, but I wasn't sure where else to put it. 

I'm trying to come up with a custom "symbol" for the game by modifying some characters and turning it into an icon. I tried to replicate how the font looks in Photoshop, but I can't quite make it look close enough to pass. I'm using VL Gothic size 18 (seems to match the best when comparing to screenshots), but I'm having trouble duplicating the outline. I've tried numerous opacity, spread, and sizes for outer glow. I was wondering if anybody has any advice or pointers that might point me in the right direction.

Any help is appreciated. 

Can you provide examples or screenshots. I still don't really understand what you want.

Did you want a black outline for the letters? Select the layer, copy and paste it to get a non-text copy. Then use the stroke tool (under edit I think...) Does that help?
