How is MV "drawing" text in game?

I mean specifically what is it using in the end, like ctx, pixi, html/css? Assuming someone who has been intimate with the js would be my best bet.

Pixi I believe. Haven't peeked much at the Pixi library or the Core plugin, but I assume it's Pixi.

Be nice if someone can confirm, because I'm really not sure lol.

your question make no sense for me, can you reformulate ?
Only the rendering process are not same between bitmap and webGl from the canvas.

No, MV doesn't draw text via pixi. It draws text on a new bitmap via canvas2d and then blits it onto the window contents. Blitting like this can also be seen when mv makes a window.

So you are saying, when all is said and done I am seeing text on my screen because of:
Code:
ctx.font
Et al.

And then it is using something (javascript again?) to blit (which I haven't done since the FLash days, lol).

Correct?
