or

100 100 moveto

    Try 3.14159 20 string cvs show.

    string needs a size and leaves the created string on the stack. cvs needs a value and a string to store the converted value.

    If you’re doing lots of string conversions, it may be more efficient to create one string and reuse it in each conversion:

    /s 20 string def
    3.14159 s cvs show
