Well what I did: I joined the bitmap font to my Demo and everything went o.k but then I added a Texure and now the font has another Color, when I avoid the Texture init, everything is o.k again, if I change the Texture the font has another Color again. What am I doing wrong? Here is my "GL_DrawScene" Code: int DrawGLScene(GLvoid) { glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear Screen And Depth Buffer glLoadIdentity(); if (cnt1<100) { glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,-5.0f); glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f); glRasterPos2f(-2.4f, 0.0f); glPrint("---Space Projekt--- by Lars Michel %7.2f", cnt1); } if (cnt1>100 && cnt1 <120) { glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,-5.0f); // Move One Unit Into The Screen glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f); glRasterPos2f(-1.f, 0.0f); glPrint("Dedicated to Kismet"); // Print GL Text To The Screen } if(cnt1>120 && cnt1<150) { cnt2=100; } if (cnt2==100) { glLoadIdentity(); z+=0.1f; glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,z); glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[0]); glBegin(GL_QUADS); glTexCoord2f(0.0f,1.0f); glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(0.0f,0.0f); glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(1.0f,0.0f); glVertex3f(1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(1.0f,1.0f); glVertex3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); glEnd(); } cnt1+=0.2f; return TRUE; }

hey... im also a gl newbie and had the same problem!
after a bit of screwing around i found the answer to this so here it is.....


int DrawGlScene(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

//draw whatever u want with textures on them


//now we are going to draw the text
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);//im not sure why the text breaks when you have textures on but it does so disable them here

glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);//i do this to make sure the text apears on top of everything else if u dont want this dont do it


//now draw the text the same way you had it before

glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);//enable again so the polygons will be textured

}


//hope that helps

Many THX I think this will solve my Problem

Thanks Doc
