[SA] Area name text style with CLEO

[inadequate]

Is there a way to make to appear a custom text using the area name style text as SA uses with zones and interiors? I tried with 0A19 after pressing a key like a test but nothing appeared.

Do you want to simply display area name itself or display texts that looks like area name?

If the latter, you should use text_draw opcodes.

Thanks to both for his help. I'll go with DK's answer, it even includes the code for his SDK.
