All of the display code (for the text) is in the OnGUI() function.
If you want to change position, the part you want to change is on line 33:
new Rect(15,15,200,25)
where each parameter specifies: x position, y position, width, height.
To change the font size and type, it is probably easiest to create a skin within the Unity editor, then you just need to use (before line 33 or in Start()):
GUI.skin = skin;
And in the declarations:
public GUISkin skin;
then you can select the skin from the object properties within the Unity editor.
To find out how to use Skins, check out this link:

omg ty very much! i was having trouble but now i rememberer that the text shown is a Label ty Vio$$anonymous$$yma it work'd! ♥
Note, if you want, you can also use a GUIStyle to set the style just for Label if that is easier. But, later your GUISkin can be configured for other controls, so I recommend this for most situations unless you will only be using Labels.
Is there a straight forward method to increase font size!?! I noticed I can be creative with backgrounds and such but nothing to increase the size of fonts! Thanks!
