Steps
- Open Gimp.
- Create your text.
- Go to Filters > Light And Shadow > Drop Shadow...
- You can change the Shadow effect as you wish, but usually the default settings do the trick.

- Click "OK".
- Tweak it as needed. Now you already have your Shadow! If you would like it darker, or more dominant, that can be changed in the Edit box.
- See how the opacity was changed? That makes it darker. You can try experimenting with some of the settings yourself, and see how you like it.

Tips
- Change the color of the text can give some nice effects too, so be sure to try that out too.
- Fatter font creates a fatter shadow, so try different styles like bold and italic to give nicer effects to it.
Warnings
- Drop shadow might interfere with some other Filters you might be using.
