make 4 lines diagonally on the 4x4 square

[doesnt matter which way]

**you may want to zoom in to see it while you apply the brush

to add to ur font: type what you want to type.

and select the line pattern

set the size to 1

Answer 2

The dashed lines are usually made by a brush, you can make the stamp or download the brush somewhere. They were used a lot on things called "Userbars".

Hope that helped, i'll try find a link to a tutorial to make the stamp or a download for the brush.

(oh and they're called scan lines)
