My programming environment is VC6 + Win2k. I used wglUseFontBitmaps() and glCallList() to draw text and got a transparent backgrounded text on the window. http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/frown.gif How can I modify the text's background to any color?

Thanks.

Draw quads first, then draw the text on top. This should be in the Coding: Beginners' forum.
