The article is old but you can give it a try :
http://www.opengl.org/resources/features/fontsurvey/
Then it will depend on which features do you need.

Apparently quite a lot of people use FTGL.

Hi, I haven't used FTGL... can someone more enlightened compare it to what I am currently using: http://quesoglc.sf.net
