How do people make the text seen on servers?

[JackyBC]

I have seen text on the OmniArchive classic ClassiCube server, and I like the way it works. However, I don't know how to build (write?) in similar text style. I'm talking about the text style that is the default Minecraft font, but it has a shadow. Whenever I try it, I don't like the result. Can someone help me?

To get a shadow, you just have to use /writechat twice with different chat coloring. (shortcut for /writefont default) (NA2 exclusive)
For example:
/writechat &8Shadowed text!
then
/writechat Shadowed text! (with an offset)

If you're not on NA2 you'll have to do it manually or use /imageprint with a screenshot of the text you want.

/Write  --  Writes text in a 5x3 (or 5x5 for some letters) font
/WriteText  --  Same thing as /Write but a little more customizable
/WriteFont (NA2 exclusive)  --  Writes text with a given font, see /help WriteFont (Na2 server)

Hope this helps!

I've tried that out, but it's not the font nor text style I'm looking for.

Here's a screenshot of the font I'm looking for:

Don't know how to help you, then. If you wanted to write Minecraft-styled text, then you'd have to learn the entire font. There's /WriteFont for Na2, like my original post stated.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
