Hi ,
I came across the following problem:
How to draw platform-independent text with OpenGL ?
I use Qt now to develop my application and cannot find something adecvate to wglUseFontOutlines in Linux.
I don’t know how to implement the following part:

[i]CFont* oldfont = pDC->SelectObject( pFont );
ASSERT(oldfont);

if (!wglUseFontOutlines( pDC->m_hDC, 0, 256, m_DisplayList, 0.0f,
(float)xt, WGL_FONT_POLYGONS, m_Gmf) )
{
glDeleteLists( m_DisplayList, 256 );
m_DisplayList = 0;
}
else
pDC->SelectObject( oldfont );[/i]

Thanks for help in advance

An old survey of text in GL :

The FTGL seem the best candidate nowadays.

Here’s another one you may want to try out.
