Maybe what you're missing is that, in the Bump Map dialog, you have to select the text layer as the Bump Map ... that option is in the upper right corner (at least for me on Linux ...

Maybe you need to flatten it first? Can't imagine how that would make a difference at this stage.
Ok, that did it... I was not selecting the texture layer first, then the bump map.
Very good. How can I save it out to be able to drop it over another picture? Brush? I need to be able to resize it, if nessary.
