-				Draws a string using a custom font.
+				Draws [code]text[/code] using the specified [code]font[/code] at the [code]position[/code] (top-left corner). The text will have its color multiplied by [code]modulate[/code]. If [code]clip_w[/code] is greater than or equal to 0, the text will be clipped if it exceeds the specified width.
+				[b]Example using the default project font:[/b]
+				[codeblock]
+				# If using this method in a script that redraws constantly, move the
+				# `default_font` declaration to a member variable assigned in `_ready()`
+				# so the Control is only created once.
+				var default_font = Control.new().get_font("font")
+				draw_string(default_font, Vector2(64, 64), "Hello world")
+				[/codeblock]
