Type-of-Graphika Set

I purchased this at Daz:

https://www.daz3d.com/type-of-graphika-set--find-your-words-in-daz-studio

This is a very cool set...but i have a question about it:

It really comes with all you need (almost) to make words phrases symbols etc...but there is no ability to actually type the text.

As far as i know Daz Studio does not have an actual type tool...so if i want to form a word or a phrase i would have to load in every single letter prop one by one with help of the parameters tab and then i would have to rearange them also one by one in order to form a word or a phrase...painstaking work and very time consuming!...unless there is a faster way of doing it that i am not aware of.

I mean there must be a faster way of doing it because you can see in all the promos that the vendor has made countelss words and phrases and it all looks perfectly straight and aligned!...how on earth did he manage to do that?...that is really my main question for him...that is ofcourse if i could ask him...but where do i find him to contact him(or her) to ask that question.

Unless this vendor used another software to make all those premade words first...and if so...which software?

Of course this set comes with alot of premade words and phrases...but at one point you would want to make your own words and phrases...and again...in the promos you can see that its possible...but how?...how do you form your own words and phrases and get them perfectly aligned without having to spend hours to form one single word and then geting it perfectly straight?...

 

 

Any one care to elaborate?...

I don't own the set but I assume you can start a new scene, add all of the letters you need for your word or phrase (they should all drop to the floor in the same place) and then with the scene tab open you can select one character at a time and either use the movement tool or the Parameters tab to shift them letter by letter to the right or left until your word or phrase is spelled out, after which I'd parent those words or the phrase to a null so that you can move them as a set by moving the null. It shouldn't take that long.

Hopefully that helps a little.

I don't have the set but it should be possible to write a script that would load the files to match a piece of text, perhaps grouping by word, and either have the script space them or just use the Align pane to handle the spacing out.
