I always like to type the text and then trace it with the pencil. That way you can animate it and such. Cause with just text you can only make it into a symbol. You can't really mutate it to your desire. Unless you just want plain text. Then just use the text button.

Try the Text Tool. It is an "A"

Retracing the text isn't necessary if you want to animate it. Use the break apart command on your static text twice to get it to its base level (which is the same a drawing with the brush tool).

This sig is 100% effective protection from all hexes, curses, evil spirits and bad karma. Guaranteed.
