GMGraphicsMBS.Text(x as Double, y as Double, text as string, encoding as string)

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method GraphicsMagick MBS GraphicsMagick Plugin 10.2 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
Annotate image with text represented with text encoding, using current stroke color, font, font pointsize, and box color (text background color), at specified coordinates.

If text contains special format characters the image filename, type, width, height, or other image attributes may be incorporated in the text (see label()).

The text encoding specifies the code set to use for text annotations. The only character encoding which may be specified at this time is "UTF-8" for representing Unicode as a sequence of bytes. Specify an empty string to set text encoding to the system's default. Successful text annotation using Unicode may require fonts designed to support Unicode.

Seems like you need ghostscript or the DPS library for text handling, so it may no be available for you.
