But the font metrics have to be stored somewhere, right? That was my point: creating a texture file is really easy. But actually rendering an arbitrary font to the screen requires more info, and I don't know how or where to put it. I was under the impression that plib used the glut ".txf" font format, but maybe I'm mistaken? Andy -- Andrew J.
