:size

a number denoting the font size to apply to this text

:character_spacing

a number denoting how much to increase or decrease the default spacing between characters

:font

:color

anything compatible with Prawn::Graphics::Color#fill_color and Prawn::Graphics::Color#stroke_color

                    { :text => "world",
                      :size => 24,
                      :styles => [:bold, :italic] }])
