This just isn’t OpenGL related.

Here’s how you do it:

  1. create an offscreen bitmap using whatever your native OS is (say, a DIBsection using GDI on Windows)

  2. load the font you want (say, using CreateFontEx() on Windows, or libttf on UNIX)

  3. draw the characters into the bitmap using the appropriate API of your host system. Don’t forget GdiFlush() if you’re on Windows.

  4. upload the bits of the bitmap to GL as a texture, and display that texture on suitable geometry.
