Write text on texture

[shade]

Ok, I made some tests, yes with Outline font it is possible to rotate text, the problem is that with this kind of font I can't work in 2d space, or I'm not able!
Seems that when I use the glOrtho function to create the 2d transformation, the text becomes very very small!
If you look in this example, when you press the Ortho button you see that the text (or what I think it is) very very small in the bottom left of the window!
I need to work using pixel coordinate and not spacial one!

You didn't read all of my last post. I used glScale(20,20,20) to make it normal size. The font is 1 pixel wide without scaling, if you scale by 20 it should be about same as size 20 font. Notice that glTranslate call after scaling will be multiplied aswell. (Use glPushmatrix and glPopmatrix wisely).

Actually glScale(20,20,1) would maybe work better, would keep the text flat so ortho mode's Z-buffer won't be reached too fast.

Sorry, I had not seen the reference to glScale function and I had focused on the example provided!
Thanks now it is clear and it works fine!
