Stroked fonts are drawn as simple primitives (lines) using call lists, thus they get transformed as any other GL call. But the output isn't that good. For a more sophisticated solution, you should render your text using an external library (like freetype), transfer to a texture and draw a textured quad. Googling for "opengl freetype" should provide some overlong list of examples. _______________________________________________ fltk-opengl mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-opengl
