fieldOfView
The aperture angle in degrees of the virtual camera used to render the 3D positioning
of the xAngle and yAngle parameters.
kerning
The spacing between each letter. Larger values space the letters farther apart, while
smaller values bring the characters closer together. You can also use negative values to
make the characters overlap.
fontQuality
The polygonalization factor of the font splines. This is conservatively set to a high value.
For flat artwork, you can probably get away with a value of 0. When you have extreme
perspective, you should keep it set to a high value.
