Is it possible to print on a sprite? OR over a sprite that has been textured??? I have a new idea...

You could text onto another texture and assign it to another index on the sprite, create a new sprite with one (text carrying) texture and place it ever so slightly in front of the other sprite, or (if there's no object in front of the sprite) get its position and distance and text over the top of it appropriately in 2D. Whichever way you do it, you might want to create some bitmapped font routines too.
