Other than being too precise, I would think you can make a text layer; duplicate that text layer and put it above the regular text layer: check no fill color, add stroke width (maybe 3); and then apply Checkerboard or maybe even Grid effect with Stencil Alpha blending. This way, you'll get an etched outline on top of the regular text. Finally, apply Alpha Inverted Matte on the lower regular text layer and get it over with.

Can we perhaps go a little bit slower into doing this?
I have just started learning how to typeset a week ago and frankly, i have no idea what you're saying. Can you show me how it's done with snapshots? Or a basic guide about how to do text layers would be okay too. Thanks a lot.
