{title}

complete in this issue!

with different fonts for each component (yes)
different font sizes (yes)
AND different spacing between each component (so as to get around objects in the image - eg so none of the text covers up the detective's smoking gun, or is lost in a dark area of the image)?

I think I'm asking for margins and alignment for each element.

Probably most of this could be done as custom text? Using enter and space bar to position elements?
Go to the 'Contents' Tab: use the up/down arrows to change the field order. The Fonts tab sets the size. Use Padding on the 'Dimensions tab to space (field) lines

That leaves margins: there is only 1 top; the a field the Padding; then another field; more of the same padding;
Note: you can use (blank) images and custom text (a single dot is hardly noticeable) as a variable padding
