The rendering of text in the pango text overlay is pretty rubbish when the text
is small or the glyphs are complex (this was first reported to me against CJK
fonts).

For example, the sample pipeline:

$ gst-launch-0.10 -v videotestsrc ! textoverlay text="Room A" valign=top
halign=left ! autovideosink

Gives the result that I'm attaching.  Clearly this isn't optimal.
