Hey, I'm new to series 60 development and so I hope I ask this question right.

I'm developing on a N80, which is a 3rd edition series 60 phone.

I'm trying to draw some text to the screen and I use the following code and all i can see are a few pixels at the top of the screen. If I make the string longer I see more pixels at the top of the screen so I know it's drawing the text, just not big enough.

def handle_redraw(rect):
    canvas.blit(img)

...


img.clear(0)
img.text((0,14),u'Please work',0xffffff, font=u'LatinBold12')
handle_redraw(())

Am I doing something wrong? Is this an issue with using series 60 3rd edition?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Yup, the text primitive doesn't work in PyS60 for 3rd edition yet:

I found the problem the same way you did and banged my head against it a bit before I thought to check the bug database. It's one of four Priority 8 bugs (and there are no 9s or 10s), but there hasn't been any indication of when a fix might be available, unfortunately.

Yup that's a bummer. Thanks for the info.
