@Dionisio, The Znoritos is based on....Doritos! The American tortilla chip brand owned by Pepsi.
You shouldn't need to use G'mic or anything else to fix your edges, it's all about tweaking and fine-tuning if you want smoother look.
I often use drop shadow for the outermost stroke. 100% opacity, zero distance, Blend mode normal.
It should be perfectly smooth with 100% spread but you can lower spread to 96-98 and the edges will be just bit smoother.
Very useful when white, it works same time as a base for other effects that expand over the edges of your text layer.
Pay attention to the choke and spread settings, there's also soften box in bevel & emboss structure.
And use bigger font sizes. If you play with too small text, you will have less pixels which means it never can be that smooth.

Thanks again for sharing your presets Nidhogg

You're welcome.....

Plastic Ferminator (Font Terminator Real NFI, 186p)
Canvas 2000x160
Nothing like the original, couldn't figure out a method to repeat angled gradient individually on each letter so I used normal gradient with triangular repetition.
When I was testing bevel & emboss separately, the outlook looked more metallic.
I guess it has something to do with the execution order of the effects, whether one decides to merge them and final order of layers.

Drop Shadow:
Ferminator|(image,layer,(255, 255, 255), 100.0, 0, 0.0, 28, 98.0, 8.0, 135.0, 2.0, False, False)
Gradient Overlay:
Ferminator|(image,layer,'FG to BG (RGB)', 0, 2, False, 100.0, 30, 0.0, 0.0, -45.0, 100.0, False)
Inner Shadow:
Ferminator|(image,layer,(0, 0, 0), 80.0, 6, 0.0, 30, 1, 45.0, 10.0, -100.0, 2.0, False)
Outer Bevel:
Ferminator|(image,layer,0, 12.0, 0, 6.0, 3.0, 170.0, 30.0, 11, (255, 255, 255), 31, 80.0, (0, 0, 0), 30, 75.0, 0, False, 'Pine', 100.0, 100.0, False, False)
Stroke:
Ferminator|(image,layer,(229, 229, 229), 100.0, 31, 5.0, 100.0, False)
Outer Glow:
Ferminator|(image,layer,'FG to BG (RGB)', 100.0, 5, 0.0, 28, 30.0, 6.0, False, False)

Thanks Nidhogg,
I thought I would create a topic on GL with collection of these presets
https://www.gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php ... 551#p22551

So that users can quickly browse though Showcase to see/search for the one(s) they like
https://www.gimplearn.net/showcase.php? ... casebegins

Also wrote a (very short) blog post about it here

This collection could be a start of something new. I hope it'll grow like Custom Fonts where we have over 480 custom fonts now on GL.

That's cool. I'll create account soon so that I can upload my future styles on your forum.

Great! Thanks a million!

Just attach your preset preview image as an attachment (that way it'll show up on showcase).
