Printing text into window

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Hi, I’m using a C++ compiler for my OpenGL programming. I’m really new to OpenGL though and was wondering how I would print text into the window I created using OpenGL programming.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,
Paul

There are several ways:
1)write it on DC (cant say more because i didnt tried this)
2)Create WGL font (bitmap or outline) and write it.
3)Write your own font by lines. (or there is an ready one in glAux)
