Is this what you''re looking for?

draw_text_ext(x,y,string,sep,w) Similar to the previous routine but you can specify two more things. First of all, sep indicates the separation distance between the lines of text in a multiline text. Use -1 to get the default distance. Use w to indicate the width of the text in pixels. Lines that are longer than this width are split- up at spaces or - signs. Use -1 to not split up lines.

But this is a bad way ((text will not perfectly smooth. I need to be on the left and the right were all exactly like the picture, and with the help of this function, the text is not aligned automatically ...

This is currently not possible in GM unless you write your own script for breaking off text of the end of a line, and then repositioning every word manually. This is probably a nightmare to code, and in native GML it will simply be too slow. So I wouldn't count on it, because this is just very rare in games. The alternatives are:

• find an existing dll
• accept that text is not justified
• store the text in an image, and display the image

Here is why I propose to add a feature that would have replaced all of the above methods. =)
Not all have GM Pro (as yet I have problems with credit card)
P.S. I hope that will listen to me, and do this at least in GM 9.
