Text3D Component
The Text 3D Component is used to show a text on a rectangular flat area that can be positioned anywhere in 3D space. There are two general solutions to display: Stroke fonts: the characters are defined via line segments or the characters are predefined as small bitmaps and usually stored in a texture buffer.
