The /drawtext command draws text at the specified co-ordinates. If you use a negative number for the font size, it will match the size of fonts in the font dialog. The /drawtext command will use some default options for anti-aliasing that you cannot change (yet), meaning that a text drawn in black may not be drawn only using the expected color, this can be a real concern when using /drawfill to fill an area with text inside it.
Synopsis[edit]
/drawtext -hnrpbocvd <@win> <color> [color] [fontname fontsize] <x y [w h]> <text>

- -h - highlights the windows icon if it is minimized
- -n - prevents the display from being updated immediately
- -r - indicates that the colors are in RGB format
- -o - Attempt to draw the text in bold. A $chr(2) is inserted at the beginning of the string and is interpreted (but the others control codes won't be). If you use -p as well as -o, control code will be interpreted and having a $chr(2) in your text will break the bold.
- -i - Same as -o but for italic with $chr(29)
- -v - Draw text from a binvar
- -d - disable tab support
