A question for aircraft designers-cockpit text

[APA-168]

I have a question for all you aircraft designers. I am working on designing my first cockpit and am getting close to the stage where I need to begin unfolding and texturing. This has led me to an interesting dilemma. All over the cockpit there is text relating to the various functions of switches, gauges, knobs and buttons. Some of this text is large enough to read, but a lot isn't. So my question is: how do you represent the text that is too small to read, but large enough to be seen. Do you make an educated guess as to what it says? Squiggly white lines? Make it up? Inquiring minds want to know...

I've successfully used what's called a pixel font to make characters and then downscaled them using paint.net.

Here's a great free pixel font:
