Thanks Fabrice. I uploaded Africa dimension which is a screen shot from blender with a photoshop layer with the text as an example.
Ultimately its more important to get quite precise placement of the text than any fancy text effects. At times it would need to be "on" the object, at other times to the side or off of it. I just plan to use simple paint artwork for the main bitmap for the objects. For now I have been thinking of a transparent plane with just the relevant text as bitmapmaterial that I would place next to my object, that should work shouldn't it? I'm still new to this all in case you hadn't noticed.
