OK. Sounds cool. But weird... > Using OpenGL directly is fine (i'm familiar enough with it to > hack basic stuff up) and a little google has shown me a few > tutes on how to implement sprites in gl. Font handling under OpenGL can be a bit "sub-optimal" too, if you are using it for a text editor (though that may not matter of you are making your entire "font" as sprites...) There are libs that can help - FTGL is worth a look for example... http://sourceforge.net/projects/ftgl/ > So it's all good, as i said just making sure there wasn't a > sprite handler in here all ready for me! No - the fltk approach has pretty much always been to resort to GL when you need to do anything fancy! :-) SELEX Galileo Ltd Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
