Do you mean making it 3D like a mesh or applied to a billboard? It's possible, but you would have to write the code to do something like that yourself.

Or are you talking about the GUI addStaticText for a HUD style text?

Then you'll need to create the text as a image file that will be loaded in just as any other billboard and placed at whatever coordinates in 3D space. Of course it will be 2D so it will always face the player.
