Since I posted a topic that turned out to be a duplicate of this one, I'll just post my suggestion here again:
set text style [sans-serif v] :: pen
set text size (12) pt :: pen
set text color [#ABCDEF] :: pen
set text alignment [left v] :: pen
draw text [hello world] at x: () y: () :: pen
-snip-

As @imfh said, I think this should go in a Text extension.

I actually have an idea. What if there were separate sprites dedicated to text? Like, an actual piece of text instead of stamping text somewhere?

A lot of people are doing this, so I am too.

That is way better! With that there would be a sprite with all the text costumes in the libary for a bunch of fonts

This has actually become an experimental extension in Scratch Lab!

Support, but it may be a bit too complicated

I reccomend a setup like this:

There'd be a block like [type () at () () (Sans Serif v ).
And you'd use the drop-down to change the font.

Semi-support. I like the idea but I think the ST is actually planning to add it sometime in the future as it's an experimental feature in Scratch Lab.

Bump, and support, this could be very useful for deaf people. (I could have said ‘support’ here, but apparently, someone necroposted on that topic.)

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):

If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a block.
New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.

Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is not relevant to the discussion. For example, this

ExampleScratcher1 wrote:
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]

is not blockspam, but these

are blockspam, and must be reported.
