Coding > What's the best method to output text?

I was told that it would be quite simple to just use an tile layer and copy my string into vido memory, but that would mean that I would loose one of my tile layers just for text output.... Isn't there an better way to do that?

The only other way to do it is to use sprites.

See this thread for both methods.
