GLdouble aspect,
GLdouble zNear,
GLdouble zFar);

and least sense makes zFar

Why does it make the least sense? Did you read and understand the matrix on the page you posted?

[Nowhere-01]

why do you keep responding to a person who either trolling or has development delay? either way he completely ignores your explanations and keeps posting idiotic, naked statements. it's already 20+ posts where bunch of people is trying to educate someone who clearly doesn't want to be educated.

Thanks for the statements.

Now back to the topic:
When does "direct font support" come finally by OpenGL ?
Please don´t say "never".

This is just plainly depressing. Even if it's a troll it somehow funny though.

[LuisAK]

Yes, thokra
such a standard like OpenGL and no native font-support - just plainly depressing !

Have fun with the next release of OpenGL.

Just to add an interesting fact to this "discussion", Direct3D doesn't support fonts either. D3DX has a font subsystem, but D3DX is not part of Direct3D; it's a library layered on top of D3D. Also, D3DX is deprecated and won't be getting updated for future D3D versions.

Thanks for the encouragement though. We will be having fun with the next OpenGL release.
