Andy Have you tried using the Font generator http://www.opengl.org/developers/code/mjktips/TexFont/gentexfont.c I have used this successfully with Cygwin and is in how ALL of the PLib fonts were created. Here's Mark's example of the command used to generate the sorority.txf file: Just change the Font name and the 'glist' to be what you want gentexfont \ -fn '-sgi-sorority-medium-r-normal--40-*-*-*-p-*--ascii' \ -file sorority.txf \ -glist \ '`"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMN\ OPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890 \!@#$$%^&*()-=+/,.<>;:~{}[]' \ -bitmap \ -w 256 \ -h 256 \ -gap 3 Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
