I also sank the text into the body, both positioned at the origin for 
the z-axis, and using a merge to get rid of the internal geometry. As 
the geometry of the letters is much smaller than the tuit's object, I 
concluded that they would need a smaller mm_per_unit value but I am not 
sure if I am right with that assumption.
