Bitmap Fonts

OpenGL
1

Hi all,

I’m working on NeHe’s tutorial 13. It has to do with bitmap fonts. The code compiles OK but when I run it I get the following error:

X Error of failed request: BadFont (invalid Font parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 12 (X_GLXUseXFont)
Resource id in failed request: 0x2600002
Serial number of failed request: 32
Current serial number in output stream: 35 X

I’m not sure what the problem could be. I made sure that I have the font that he uses on my system.
I emailed the person who did the Linux port but it was a bad address. Any help on this is greatly appreciated, as usual.

Thanks,
Garlic GL

I just tried the GLX port and it worked. Perhaps do you not have the font installed.
