Set a font, then draw the string on the GreenfootImage. You can’t change the font used by the “showText” method.

The image you set the font to in line one is not the image set to the actor in line 3. Use the drawString method on the image the font is set to.

Thanks, it is working. Now the problem is that the font I want do not works, but when I use another like "Times new Roman" then it works :/ I do not undertand why, since the "Marlboro" font is installed in the system :/

GreenfootImage image = new GreenfootImage(200, 200);
image.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", 40));
image.drawString(text, 30, 30);

The following listFonts method (with the help of the private methods) should list all available fonts to the terminal, giving the exact names to be used:
