hello guys
i am presently working in an application where i am using multiple fonts to display text . i am using NEHE bitmap font building and printing basecode for my different fonts
the problem is that both the fonts are displaying on the screen alright but after two to three minutes of my applicatiuon run the text disappears but other drawing like trianles lines etc are ok . but the text vanishes . i used the following code
// Our Bitmap Font1
GLvoid BuildFont_1(GLvoid)
{
HFONT font; // Windows Font ID
base = glGenLists(96); // Storage For 96 Characters ( NEW )
font_size = -11;
font = CreateFont( font_size, // Height Of Font
0, // Width Of Font
0, // Angle Of Escapement
0, // Orientation Angle
FW_NORMAL, // Font Weight
FALSE, // Italic
FALSE, // Underline
FALSE, // Strikeout
ANSI_CHARSET, // Character Set Identifier
OUT_TT_PRECIS, // Output Precision
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // Clipping Precision
ANTIALIASED_QUALITY, // Output Quality
FF_DONTCARE|DEFAULT_PITCH, // Family And Pitch
"Ariel"); // Font Name
SelectObject(hDC, font);
wglUseFontBitmaps(hDC, 32, 96, base); // Builds 96 Characters Starting At Character 32
}
// bitmap font 2
GLvoid BuildFont_2(GLvoid)
{
HFONT font; // Windows Font ID
base = glGenLists(96); // Storage For 96 Characters ( NEW )
font_size = -15;
font = CreateFont( font_size, // Height Of Font
0, // Width Of Font
0, // Angle Of Escapement
0, // Orientation Angle
FW_NORMAL, // Font Weight
FALSE, // Italic
FALSE, // Underline
FALSE, // Strikeout
ANSI_CHARSET, // Character Set Identifier
OUT_TT_PRECIS, // Output Precision
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // Clipping Precision
ANTIALIASED_QUALITY, // Output Quality
FF_DONTCARE|DEFAULT_PITCH, // Family And Pitch
"Courier New"); // Font Name
SelectObject(hDC, font);
wglUseFontBitmaps(hDC, 32, 96, base); // Builds 96 Characters Starting At Character 32
}
GLvoid KillFont(GLvoid) // Delete The Font
{
glDeleteLists(base, 96); // Delete All 96 Characters ( NEW )
}
GLvoid glPrint(const char *fmt, …) // Custom GL “Print” Routine
{
char text[256]; // Holds Our String
va_list ap;
if (fmt == NULL) // If There's No Text
return;
va_start(ap, fmt); // Parses The String For Variables
vsprintf(text, fmt, ap); // And Converts Symbols To Actual Numbers
va_end(ap);
glPushAttrib(GL_LIST_BIT); // Pushes The Display List Bits ( NEW )
glListBase(base - 32);
glCallLists(strlen(text), GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, text); // Draws The Display List Text ( NEW )
glPopAttrib(); // Pops The Display List Bits ( NEW )
}
i am call the function buildfont_1 whenever i have to print using font1 before any glprint function and similarly i call buildfont_2 for font2
can any body help me out
thanks
