Hello!
I have a 3D font class which I have adapted from Nehe, and now i am adding multilingual support 
I decided to use this method instead of bitmap fonts.
The Latin characters work fine, but there is an offset in the mapping of Unicode input and wglUseFontOutlines.
In particular for Greek characters start from unicode value 900. I generate lists using wglUseFontOutlines from 900 to 976. There is a mismatch in the fonts generated by a value of 48.
e.g the âAâ (alpha) character has unicode 913 but wglUseFontOutlines produces the correct glyph at value 913+48.
I have solved this by adding a âremapâ variable, but I dont understand wy they dont match.
Anyone knows what I might be doing wrong?
