Hello. I am new to Dark GDK but not c++, this is my first post.

I have been playing around with the dbText, dbCenterText, and dbPrint functions, but I've ran into a little trouble.

Not sure of this but try

This is meant to work with 3D objects but I think someone once said it works to keep text on top.
