Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into them.

No, not looking for the actual text. Yeah, I guess I just wanted to try
creating something like a ~ and go from there depending on how it looked
compared to the rest of the scene...it would be fairly small, though, and
there would be multiple of these so, would one of the 3 methods you
mentioned be easier than another? I do not want to put it over any other
object (if that clarifies).

Thanks very much.
