It seems a shame though, since FLTK's GLUT is working fine. I can also see the reason: FLTK's GLUT fonts are taken from the system (in this case, FL_SCREEN), whereas 8_BY_13 is an internal bitmap. I was thinking along the lines of ripping FreeGLUT's bitmaps for the the following: GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13 GLUT_BITMAP_9_BY_15 and add a new code-path when the these are used in glutBitmap*. IMHO there are the two only fonts that require pixel-level similarity. Would such a change have any chance to be integrated? :) > A word of caution.

What GLUT library are you using? _______________________________________________ fltk-opengl mailing list fltk-opengl@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-opengl
