How would I draw text in my game if I have only hooked EndScene and Reset (presumably with the DrawTextA method of ID3DXFont)?

I've tried doing this myself, but I keep crashing and getting a white screen even with font->Release() being used.

You need to check and make sure your pointers to your font object are valid before you try to access them.

Inside of EndScene you will be creating the object if it does not exist. Afterward you will draw with it as long as it is valid.

Inside of Reset, you will be recreating it if it exists already only.

Pseudo:
Code:
EndScene()
{
    if (!lpFont)
    {
        // Create your font here..
    }
    else
    {
        // Draw with your font here...
    }
}

Reset()
{
    if (lpFont)
    {
        lpFont->ReleaseResources(); // or whatever cleanup calls your font object uses..
    }

    device->Reset(); // call the original reset..

    if (lpFont)
    {
        lpFont->InitializeResources(); // or whatever initialize calls your font object uses.
    }
}
