The 'y' coordinate in text drawing represents the BASELINE for the text...
not the TOP of the text. So, I would guess that your Canvas IS drawing the
text... except that you can't see it, because you are drawing it ABOVE the
'visible' area of the Canvas. Solution: Give the 'y' coordinate some
positive value GREATER THAN Graphics.TextHeight.
