love.graphics.print
Draws text on screen. If no Font is set, one will be created and set (once) if needed.
As of LOVE 0.7.1, when using translation and scaling functions while drawing text, this function assumes the scale occurs first. If you don't script with this in mind, the text won't be in the right position, or possibly even on screen.
Drawing uses the current color, but only if the ColorMode is "modulate" (which is the default). If your text is displayed as white, it is probably because the color mode is "replace" (which is useful when drawing sprites). Change the color model to "modulate" before drawing.

Notes
love.graphics.print stops at the first '\0' (null) character. This can bite you if you are appending keystrokes to form your string, as some of those are multi-byte unicode characters which will likely contain null bytes.
