Code:
        for(var/a in l)
            var/obj/h=new()
            h.tag="TextHUD"
            h.text="<font color=red bgcolor=black>[a]"
            h.screen_loc="[sx],[sy]"
            h.layer=TURF_LAYER**MOB_LAYER
            c.screen+=h
            sx++
            if(sx>21){sy--;sx=1}


Problem description:

I have set to color=red bgcolor=black and stuff, but it has NO background, but the red text is there. I don't get the problem. :(

It might be that black is being interpreted as "transparent", which I do believe is the case. Try using bgcolor=#000001 instead; it's the darkest color you can get next to black.
