lersson #13 -SDL/Windows problem

My source uses OpenGL + SDL on windows, down the bottom of the lesson i couldn't find any sources for this combination and i am confused about an aspect of lesson 13 (printing text onto the screen). The example source I used is the DevC++ one. After many tries, i was not able to print text to the screen. I checked SDL and OpenGL for errors but none appeared. The source compiled correctly. The Z axis is set to -1. If someone knows the common problems assosiated with this, could you post them. One section i noted was this. hDC was used but SDL was never attached to it previously. oldfont = (HFONT)SelectObject(hDC, font); wglUseFontBitmaps(hDC, 32, 96, base); SelectObject(hDC, oldfont); DeleteObject(font); Futhermore SDL uses the command SDL_GL_SwapBuffers( ); but in the example this is used. SwapBuffers(hDC); hDC is not used at all with SDL. How do i overcome this problem?
