I was the other person who commented on this topic.  The way I used stencil
on my cordless phone object (for *all* lettering and numbers) was to type
in the text using any postscript font loadable in lightwave, extrude it,
align it along the surface of interest, then stencil.  I believe most
postscript fonts work with lw.  Once you have assigned a surface name to
the various sets of characters, it is a simple matter to tweak the color and
other attributes.  Changes are certainly easier than if an image map were
used.
