If you use a non-monospaced font, the size of the text overlay changes as the letters, numbers, and
the length of words change. Use a monospaced font to maintain a consistent size for the text overlay
(assuming the total number of characters in the text string doesn't change).
You can include certain international characters in text overlays. For a complete list, see International character
support .
