I''ve been wanting to have my own font rendering routines for a while now as wglUseFontOutlines is quite limited as to how it can render the text. I''ve got the outline of the font as a series of points, so does anyone have an algorythm of how to convert efficiently from points to non-overlapping polys ? cheers Dan Game production: Good, quick, cheap: Choose two.

That doesn''t seem possible. What would you do for characters like ''i'', ''j'', ''!'', or ''"''?

I''ve found elsewhere what I need to use is Delaunay Triangulation, which builds up an optimised mesh for points in a plane.

>That doesn''t seem possible. What would you do for characters...

Yes you''re right it''s completely impossible to render those characters...........

Or I could generate all the polys and then test for the ones that lie outside the boundary of the letter and then remove those polys from the list.

cheers dan
