I have a question about the new text() function.

I have need of knowing what the size in mm of the text that I produced.
Right now, I have to guess what the length of the text is, to put it on a
cube for instance.

Is there a way to know what the length in mm is?

Short answer, no.

There was much discussion about how to align text() with other geometry.

For now, the way to do it is use resize() to make it the size you want, in
one direction at least, let the other auto size to keep proportions, unless
you're happy to have it distort.
