This program is a hoax. Trust me.
He showed it to me, its a big joke.
I haev a guess at the reason for the overlapping. Perhaps it was just a side affect. The bars are in many things, 'Cheat Enabled' is the white color bar and the back mark. Everything in front is affected until a conflicting bar is put in., I bet they didn't think of combining back and front to have text stacked. They wouldn't have used it most likely, so ti would be pointless for them to play around with it. I It's just a side affect of mixing up things Blizzard didn't normally put together.
(My theory, I have no proof that is the truth)
Here is the formula by D-Von(U) himself for ingame unit overlaps which I have as of before now, only shared with friends.
by D-Von(U)
These are estimates and for the most part are work based on the average characters lengths. Long characters (%,@) or short characters (i,l,) may throw these off by one.
Characters refers to how many characters in a Word or phrase including spaces and everything. It only refers to what the overlap is on 1 side not both front and back together. it also does not include color bars.
These are for Unit Titles, but not forbriefing, Map Title, and others.
Tabs are created in notepad or wordpad or any text editing program. They cannot be made in Staredit or it's variations. You press tab in 1 of these programs, then it will make a large space out. You copy this tab and paste in starcraft at the end of your overlaps usually with 2 Spaces at the end like refered to in this list. Do not put spaces between the two words you are overlapping.
Characters Tabs and Spaces
2-4 5 and 2
4-6 4 and 2
7-8 3 and 2
9-10 2 and 2
11-12 1 and 2
If your overlap will flash and part of it becomes invisible sometimes, remove 1 tab mark. Enjoy!
Forces works the same was basically with different amounts of tabs, and so does mission objectives but I haven't calculated rough estimates. but map title is a whole nother' story, it won't always be perfect so for those I will usually just do something I'm pretty sure I started, Double line titles. you use tabs after the first word to push the second word down to the next line in map title. the second line is always centered. then you just have to screw around with the top level word to center it.
i never asked help D-Von lol im just asking if its possible to overlap like 15 letter words

Wait can you open Starforge and then go to forces and overlap big words because I heard that it has unlimited spaces so...?

No although it is possable to add more chracters to the title after the set amount that Staredit allows the rest are cut off. (if there within the box or not)
you guys lost me, so do you make it like this...?
[b][c]text******[f][c]text******[f][c]text
or do you make it like this...?
[b][c]text[f][c]text[f][c]text
*=space
