The text tool uses your system fonts.

Text curves are represented in the scene block diagram (SBD) window as a compressed hierarchy:

Use Utilities > SBD > Expand SBD to see the full hierarchy for text.

Double-clicking the tool opens the option window. A string of text is created as a single object; however, characters can be made into individual objects by choosing Edit > Ungroup. Each text character can be made of more than one curve. Initially, these curves are grouped together, but they can be separated by choosing Edit > Ungroup.

To create a surface from text curves, choose Surfaces > Planar Surfaces > Set Planar and create a trimmed surface. Choose all the curves necessary to make a region, or all the curves for a character. Curves can form separate groupings of surfaces, but each set of curves must form a closed loop (a region) to create a surface.
