here's the code

void printSelN(int n, unsigned int pos, String f) {
  String s = n + f;
  pos++;
  EsploraTFT.setTextSize(dTxt);
  EsploraTFT.text(s, 5 * 6 * dTxt, 64 - (10 * dTxt));
}

here's the code

Post a complete code.

Post complete code. Posting snippets just makes it harder for people to help you because then they have to guess, which just wastes everyone's time.

I think the error message is pretty clear. There's no such method in the class.

Were you possibly looking for something like

EsploraTFT.setCursor(5 * 6 * dTxt, 64 - (10 * dTxt));
EsploraTFT.print(s);

.text() doesn't take a String as the first argument, it takes a const char *

You can use the .c_str() method on your String to get the underlying char *

EsploraTFT.text(s.c_str(), 5 * 6 * dTxt, 64 - (10 * dTxt));
