Is there an easy way to make screen text display properly in 3D? I'm using an Oculus Rift, and screen text displays double.

Currently I'm trying to work around this by using 2D text instead of screen text, but then I have to make it such that:
1. Text is always facing the user's view.
2. The text moves with the user, providing the illusion that it's screen text.

And I'm still figuring out how to do these two things.

The example Oculus script that comes with Vizard shows how to display text in 3D. The script is located at [Vizard Directory]/examples/devices/oculusExample.py.
