The following pages might be helpful: FreeType Fonts in OpenGL,http://nehe.gamedev.net/tutorial/freetype_fonts_in_opengl/24001/ The sample code can be directly executed. FTGL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ftgl/ Quoted from the official webpage: FTGL is a free cross-platform Open Source C++ library that uses
Freetype2 to simplify rendering fonts in OpenGL applications. FTGL
supports bitmaps, pixmaps, texture maps, outlines, polygon mesh, and
extruded polygon rendering modes.wglUseFontOutlines function,http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd374393%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Quoted from its page on MSDN: The wglUseFontOutlines function creates a set of
display lists, one for each glyph of the currently selected outline font
of a device context, for use with the current rendering context. The
display lists are used to draw 3-D characters of TrueType fonts. Each
display list describes a glyph outline in floating-point coordinates.http://www.opengl.org/news/permalink/shikoba-opengl-3-font-library/ Shikoba: https://github.com/Queatz/Shikoba Quoted from OpenGL.org (http://www.opengl.org/news/permalink/shikoba-opengl-3-font-library/) Shikoba: OpenGL 3+ Font Library May 07, 2012Shikoba is a C++ text library for OpenGL 3 and above using the FreeType 2 library. It fills a single GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE with a GL_R8 charmap and returns vertex and texture coordinate information for each requested glyph. The texture ID and glyph information never change and are valid until the destruction of the Library object. |
