Perhaps the drop shadow is not what you wanted? If you want a shadow as
from a light source behind you, duplicate the layer, shear the duplicate
layer in X, fill it with the shadow color you desire, move it below the
text layer, and then align the bottom edge of the shadow letters with
those on the text layer. You can adjust the length by simple scaling.
