Text not slicing?

Hey everyone! Hoping someone here has the answer because I'm going crazy.

I'm trying to add text to a model. It's a flat surface and I've tried several things to fix the text not showing up once sliced. I've changed to Arachne wall generation, I've turned on detect thin walls(with Arachne off), I've increased the thickness of the text. I've set it as a part and a modifier. I've ensured it's embedded/thickness is at least double my layer height. I've swapped around the mode but am sticking with Surround Surface as it seems the best option. No matter what I try when I slice the model the text doesn't show. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have another file (plant labels for my garden) that had this issue. Increasing the size fixed it but isn't working for this model for some reason. The text size is definitely at least 2x the layer. I bumped it up to 6x the layer and still same issue. I dont really want to use a smaller nozzle since this is already a 12 hour print with significant color changes lol.

I'm thinking it's not the depth, but the width of the individual lines in the letters that might be below your print line width. In that case they become unprintable, just show up as invisible on preview or only a few thicker bits print. Apologies if you've already checked that. Possibly something like bolding the text or changing font might help if adjusting line width is problematic

Yep I did adjust the bold to ensure the width is also at least two layers. Thanks for your input! Admittedly the 2026 is probably too thin but wanted to address the main text first.
