Help?

I've downloaded about 50 different pixelated fonts and bitmap fonts and tried to use them on my icons but they always seem too large and when I use size 8 the letters kind of get all smushed up and are completely unreadble. All I want is to be able to use a small font like the one in this icon:

Can anyone help me out on this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've read somewhere something about "strokes" and I opened up my PSP8 and found something called a "Brush Strokes" but I don't understand it at all. So that's my problem summarized. I'd appreciate greatly any help :)
