Entering Text
When you select a Text3D node and open the Inspector, the Text tab shows a “Styled Text” text
entry field at the very top into which you can type the text you want to appear onscreen. Below,
a set of overall styling parameters are available to set the Font, Color, Size, Tracking, and so on.
All styling you do in this tab affects the entire set of text at once, which is why you need multiple
text objects if you want differently styled words in the same scene.

disclosure control.
