I was wondering if there's any easy way to use the windows fonts in GLUT? Since I am using a console application and not a WINMAIN( ) I don't have the HDC and HINSTANCES the tutorial uses. It would cut down on my memory footprint heavily if I could do this and would really appreciate it. Side note: I love this site, thank you for all the great information. Brian

registing is so difficult :)

You can try glFont: http://students.cs.byu.edu/~bfish/glfont2.php

It is easy to use and platform independent. It hasn't the quality of glyph fonts, but for the beginning, it should be good enough.
