Text Tester
This utility can be found in the Scripting tab of the dev panel:
Enter text into the textbox, and click on the “Dialogue” box to display a textbox with the dialogue.
Make sure that you are currently in a ground or dungeon map (Not the title screen!). You can jump to one of those maps by using F12 or F1+F12 respectively.
