I did...and, um, the description says it will print to a text mode, not a gfx mode.

"Text mode" there means Solid or Transparent:

int text_mode(int mode);
Sets the mode in which text will be drawn. Returns previous mode. If mode is zero or positive, text output will be opaque and the background of the characters will be set to color #mode. If mode is negative, text will be drawn transparently (ie. the background of the characters will not be altered). The default is a mode of zero

Anyhow, this is talking about "writes the string s onto the bitmap", and also talks about a "font bitmap" and "multicolored text output"...

Writes the string s onto the bitmap at position x, y, using the current text mode and the specified font and foreground color. If the color is -1 and a color font is in use, it will be drawn using the colors from the original font bitmap (the one you imported into the grabber program), which allows multicolored text output.

Definitely, not our text mode

If you say so.
Thanks, then.
