You mean [text2d] for the Gem object... In term of performance, I prefer
to use [text3d]... depending of what you need.

Everything here is doable with [text2d]/[text3d].

Centering text is by default with [text2d]/[text3d]. You can change this
with the message "justify".
To cut a sentence after a word when a certain amount of letter is
present is not very difficult using [list fromsymbol], [list prepend
10], [list prepend string]/[list trim] (for text2d]/[text3d]).

You can even change line spacing with the message "linedist" on recent Gem.
