The custom preset is saved to the Text Styles category in the Library. Custom presets
can be identified in the Library by the small user icon that appears in the lower-right
corner of the larger text style icon.
About Rasterization and Groups
Some operations, as well the application of certain filters or a mask, cause a group to
become rasterized. When a group is rasterized, it is converted into a bitmap image.
Because all text layers live in groups, rasterization affects how text interacts with other
objects within your project.
Note: Text can be rasterized independently of the group in which it lives. This affects
how the text interacts with objects within its own group. For example, applying a Circle
Blur filter to text that exists in 3D space (such as text on a path) causes the text to no
longer intersect with other objects in the same group. The same operations that cause
a 3D group to rasterize cause 3D text to rasterize. In some situations, turning on the
Flatten checkbox in the Layout pane of the Text Inspector can minimize this effect.
