mirc/commands/drawtext
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
