1. Use text_printf.  Works just like printf.

2. Use sprintf. eg.,

//--------
char temp_char[50];
int x=5;
float f=22/7.0;

sprintf(temp_char,"Printing variables: %d %f",x,f);
textout(my_bmp,my_font,temp_char,my_x,my_y,my_color);
//--------

I'm not sure if I have the right order of parameters there, i usually
use t_pf.
