As you know, text can be outlined (Or stroked) in many different ways.

Kerning is done from the Character panel along with many other settings.

For ease of use its best to get the text the way you want it first and then stroke it.

To keep a clean, vectored text you can convert the text by right clicking the text layer and choosing 'convert to shape'.

From here you can use 'Fill' to fill the text with a colour and 'Stroke' to outline it.

If you want to scale the stroke with the text then convert it to a 'Smart Object'......this will allow stroke scaling.

A pixel based way of 'Stroking' text is to not convert it but to use the stroke 'fx'.....found at the bottom of the layers panel.(Second icon from left).

Whilst this is obviously easier to do it does give you rounded corners which you may not desire......so the corners of a 'T' would all end up rounded.......this is proportional to the stroke amount (in px)

If you are struggling with any of that just shout......I don't know how proficient you are with PS.
