Showing text messages in augmented reality applications with ARToolkit

Question

I would like to implement a simple AR desktop application. This application should first recognize a marker out of a set of pre-registered ones, and then, show on screen some particular information related to the detected marker.

I was thinking on using ARToolkit, even if it is quite old and not anymore supported.

Do you think ARToolkit is a good solution?
How can I show text messages on screen using ARToolkit?

I found an interesting article here http://mycodelog.com/2010/03/23/printw/.

It easily explains how to implement a "printw" function that works exactly like printf.

This solution is anyway kind of ugly. – super Aug 03 '12 at 10:18
