Does anyone know a good tool to make your own fonts? I have some ideas in my mind ^^

This isn't really what you asked for, but I thought I'd share it in case it's helpful. You can make something more interesting out of regular fonts fairly easily.

1. Find a texture that you like, for instance, I used the cloth on the 1m hunter flag from an SRO screenshot. Cut out a piece of it and paste it a bunch of times over an area a little larger than you want your text to be.
2. Using a thick, blocky font (Arial Black is good), type out your text over the texture mat but in a separate layer. Make it bold too so you have plenty of inside room for your texture.
3. Use the magic wand tool to select only the letters you just typed, and none of the space between them (for instance the holes in letters like R, P, O, B).
4. Invert the selection, switch to your texture layer, and hit delete. Now you have your text stamped out of your texture mat.
5. Now you can use effects to make the text look even more unique; smudge it a little, pixelate it, change the coloration, stretch, whatever.
