You can put a picture on your text by pressing the CHANGE TEXTURE... button.

yes i know, but this is not want i want. i want each single letter look equal. each letter should glow heavy in the middle ( white/yellow ) and become a little more darkness to the edges ( orange ) , because this is the colder area.
and maybe the bevels are very dark.

There are many tools to generate textures. My favorite is Filter Forge:

To the text layer, add a gradient feather effect and adjust the top and bottom to represent the cool down area of the metal. Then add a plasma blob layer to the text. You'll have to play around with the adjustments a bit, but it'll give you the effect you're discribing.
