Improve Solution -> Special Photoshop text

[etixpp]

Hej guys, it´s just a small thing, i thought about using a custom photoshop "font" with special effects as a font, the thing is, there is no way i know to realize this with sfml stuff, only solution which came to my mind is to take every letter in big and small as a single picture and bind him to a char, so i have a function which just sets one of this images after one to get a word.
-> Just as an example what i am talking about: http://graphicriver.net/item/ancient-asia-text-effects/5993687?WT.ac=solid_search_thumb&WT.seg_1=solid_search_thumb&WT.z_author=Sao108

So the question is, do you have any easier ideas how to make this possible? Ofc i would take one big texture and just use rectures, but this will ge a buch of work so i hope there is another way D:

This is the idea, and it is generally known as "bitmap fonts". As for being easier? Make an algorithm that calculates the texture rect of each character so you don't end up hard coding everything (too much).
