Hi Ugo:

Perhaps the quickest way is to use Python:

from visad.python.JPythonMethods import *
from subs import *
maps=makeMaps(getRealType("x"),"x", getRealType("y"),"y")
disp = makeDisplay(maps)
drawString(disp, "ABCdef test", [0,0], font="futuram")
showDisplay(disp)

I've not looked into doing this, so I will defer to Don for comments.
