In technical illustrations, labeling is often needed to denominate specific parts. Here, it is important to remember certain details that can really make a difference. This is especially true if the file is to be converted at a later time.
When creating a graphic, you choose the appropriate fonts and settings (i.e. Helvetica, bold, 12 pt.).
When such an illustration is then opened on a different computer, it is possible for the designated fonts to be misrepresented. This happens, for example, when the font used is not installed on that specific computer. When the text in the illustration is represented by a different font, there can be differences in the presentation and (character) width. It would look like this:

Such "errors" can be avoided when you set your fonts in such a way that the text cannot run into the illustration. In our example, it would have been better if the upper text was aligned to the right and the lower text to the left.
Another solution would be to transform the text into paths. However, the text cannot be edited afterwards.
