It works very well. In Japan you can still but all kinds of sheets of graphic marks, symbols and half-tone textures, the kind of thing Letraset used to make but no longer do. Font size is up to you, and depends on how many letters you ant to fit on one frame, obviously. Sheets of the smallest font usually have around twenty of each letter or so: the smaller the font the more you get on a sheet, but it's cheap so why not buy a few sheets?
It's worth contacting Letraset as they did have a backlog of the textures etc and they gave me some a few years ago. They are in Ashford (UK),

Subject: [Frameworks] Letraset
Dear Friends,
I was wondering if anyone has used letra-set to create words on 16mm film. If so, I would appreciate your suggestion on font size. Also, are there enough letters in a packet to create sentences for 24 - 48 frames?
Many thanks,
Shumona
