There are a couple of things that could be helpful to make text within drawings more readable.

I've had requests from our staff to update the default size of the text within drawings.  By default this is size 12.  Often when demo-ing it I change the font size to 20-30. 

Imagery is our most used basemap.  The text often gets lost against this despite the colour used.  It would be great if we had the option to include a halo or a text background box. 

I've tried to mimic this by placing a plain coloured box where I wish to add text.  However the text will always fall behind the box regardless of the order I draw it in and I also have issues knowing what size to make the box.  The simplest fix for the above if a halo/background isn't possible would be to make the order of appearance the order drawn.
