Method draw_text

  `GDK.Drawable draw_text(GDK.GC gc, GDK.Font font, int x, int y, string text, int forcewide)`

Description

  y is used as the baseline for the text. If forcewide is true, the string will be expanded to a wide string even if it is not already one. This is useful when writing text using either unicode or some other 16 bit font.
