problem changing fonts

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

I’m having a bit of trouble setting up the font for the text in my app.

It renders the text just fine, but it only seems to display in a default font. The changes I make in CreateFont don’t seem to be reflected inside the app.

Here are the excerpts I use to create and render the font.

I stepped through the font creation and it seems to be executing fine, but I can comment out the CreateFont and SelectObject lines and it will still render as seen in the below linked screen capture. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a Screenshot of how it displays currently.


void Interface::SetupFont(HDC &g_HDC)
{
	*basefont = glGenLists(256);
	*hfont = CreateFont(24,0,0,0,FW_BOLD,false, false, false, ANSI_CHARSET, OUT_TT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, ANTIALIASED_QUALITY, DEFAULT_PITCH, "Times New Roman");

	if (*hfont)
	{
		SelectObject(g_HDC, hfont);
		wglUseFontBitmaps(g_HDC, 32, 96, *basefont);
	}
}


void Interface::WriteFPS()
{
	glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
	glPushMatrix();
	glColor4f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
	glDisable(GL_BLEND);
	realTime_->CalculateFrameRate();
	glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f);
	glRasterPos2f(0.2, 0.486f);
	glPushAttrib(GL_LIST_BIT);
	glListBase(*basefont - 32);
		glCallLists(strlen(realTime_->getStrFrameRate()), GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, realTime_->getStrFrameRate());
				
	glPopAttrib();
	glPopMatrix();
}

For reference in case it matters I’m using Dev. Studio 2005 and Vista 64 bit.

Any ideas at all would be appreciated. Or if you need more info to figure it out let me know and I will get you the info.
