Hi, I'm stuck on step 8:
Step 8 Change the blending-mode to overlay and select the text, press CTRL+I, then press delete on the noise layer!

If I change the blending-mode to overlay, select the text and press ctrl+i, nothing happens...
And what is meant by: delete on the noise layer?

@Sock, instead of Ctrl+I, press Ctrl+Shift+I

The first one will invert the colour of the font, which is not what you want. The latter inverts the selection, which IS what you want. Hope that is helpful. Great tutorial too. I've used it a lot already.

The font is Ringbearer, one of LOTR fonts, i double checked it. Besides the tutorial is excellent, precise, simple... Love it.... Waiting for more like these

Stuck on Step 3:
Duplicate the text-layer, clear the layer-styles and press CTRL+I;

It is unclear which layer should be cleared and inverted. Also, I'm having trouble inverting. Using rasterize and then inverting (which is the only way I was able to invert) makes the text look completely different than what is displayed in the tutorial.
