Well, opengl has no direct support for fonts, so you’ll have to tell us how you draw the fonts first.

I don’t have much experience with bitmaps but I think glPixelZoom would do the job.Take a look at the man page to see how it works.The results will not look good though because bitmaps don’t scale well.You may want to use another technique.Take a look at this .
