Drawing charcters Matrix Issue

[blessman11]

I'm trying to create a library of costume fonts. The issue I'm having is that when text objects are meant to be drawn in a list it refuses to work. Instead, only 1 letter is drawn where I want and the rest are drawn at the origin. I had a feeling this something to do with glLoadIdentity(); so I placed it out side my loop which draws the objects.

Frustratingly, this didn't work. It also didn't work when I heard glLoadIdentity(); in the loop were it was drawn after every object.

I have a feelig my issues has something to do with my matrix can you help? I just need to draw objects in a list.

#include "DrawText.h"
std::vector <CLetter *> qva_Fonts;
void CFonts::DrawText(char *s, GLfloat gfText_PosX, GLfloat gfText_PosY, GLfloat gfFont_Size, GLfloat gfFont_Spacing)
{
	//for loop drawing each letter
	for (int letter = 0;letter != strlen(s);letter++)
	{
 
	//draw font in array
		qva_Fonts[((int)*s)- 32]-> draw();
		s++;
 
	//loadmatrix Position & Scalling
 
		gfaaSca[0] = gfFont_Size;
		    gfaaSca[5] = gfFont_Size;
		        gfaaSca[10] = gfFont_Size;
		             gfaaSca[15] = gfFont_Size;
 
		gfText_PosX += gfFont_Spacing;
	    gfaaPos[12] = gfText_PosX;
		gfaaPos[13] = gfText_PosY;
 
 
	//multiply matrix
 
		glMultMatrixf(gfaaPos);
		glMultMatrixf(gfaaSca);
 
	}
	glLoadIdentity();
}

this is how i draw text
i think its also best to render it last
as you can see i am not even done cleaning this up
but it works and i dont have the time for such a simple thing


void DrawText(GLint x, GLint y, char* s, GLfloat r, GLfloat g, GLfloat b) {

int lines;
char* p;


glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_WIDTH), 0.0, glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_HEIGHT), -1.0, 1.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPushMatrix();


//glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();


glDisable(GL_LIGHTING);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glColor3f(r, g, b);


glRasterPos2i(x, y);

for(p = s, lines = 0; *p; p++) {
if (*p == '\n') {
lines++;
glRasterPos2i(x, y-(lines*18));
}
glutBitmapCharacter(GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12, *p);
}

/* */
glPopMatrix();


glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f);


glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();


glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);


}
