The image itself looks fairly gothic and I am at the stage where I am adding links on top of it for an image map. The problem comes when I try to make the text look gothic and read-able. I also obviously need the words to fit well with the image.
An example of one I have done before can be found here.
So does anyone have any good ideas? I'm looking for techniques, ideas, examples to emulate and fonts (must be free and legally downloadable).

These are very simple, but I think they're fairly effective. I just used this font then added another layer with a motion blur underneath it.
(edit)For some reason I thought you needed to use a highlighted set of links too, which is what the second one is for. They're both more readable without JPEG compression (obviously).

you could also download some fonts off DAfont.com for free, there are many more sites, but this is my fave, try layers, multiply, screen, ink splatter if you have brushes, good luck

I made it blurry deliberately, its an effect i added over the top. it looks fine to me.

Yeah, it looks pretty nifty. Readable and all. I have problems using gothic fonts too, at least if I want the viewer to be able to understand it.
