text as bitmap

[Joemancha]

Hi,
I need to display a GLUT text in my program. I am very new in openGL and I am beginning from "level" zero. Using appropraite openGL functions and glut bimap text routines, I need to write a function DrawText (float x, float y, float z, void *font, char* text). I need help how do I implement this. Thank you very much.
