I am currently implementing text in my program, it is supposed to be bright green text, but when it is displayed it is too dark to read. When I don''t even use a glColor3f call, the text is a dark purple color. any ideas what''s wrong?

Turn off lighting before drawing text.

I''m not using lights.

Make sure you disable texturing...
And call
glColor3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
before you render the text...

nope, still doesn't work.
it looks something like this:
lo-res, but you can see the text in the corner as a sort of brown color.

Disabling depth-testing may help.

what type of font rendering? I would use texture mapped fonts.
