Re: OpenGL text on the Macintosh

I've half-ported some code over from a tutorial on drawing stroke fonts 
in C++ in openGL.  It's very limited in that it draws lines for each 
character, but depending on what you are trying to do, it might work for 
you.  The stroke definitions were pulled from the glut stroke fonts, so 
they don't look too bad.  let me know and I'll send you the code.
