How can I write some text to the active viewport?
Ive looked in the BaseDraw class and don't see anything that can be used to draw some text in the viewport.
Thanks

There's no direct way of doing that. I know that some plugins fake it by composing their own typeface of the primitive draw objects available.

Thats the way I was going to do it, but I was just checking if there was an easier way.
