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.
love.graphics.print and love.graphics.printf both suppport UTF-8 encoding. You'll also need a proper Font for special characters.

Notes
In version 0.8.0 and older, 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.
