Sign indicator on OpenGL

[kordal]

The small text should be set property "width" and "height". Property "Scale" use for the size more than 10-15.
The geometry can be drawn quads, I do not argue. Vertex array didn't begin to use, this complication of a code When wrote the sign indicator, there was an interest to look that will turn out as a result.
If will make changes, please share a source code

Is it just me or would you create the middle part of 6 vertex triangle_strip instead of 2 separately handled quads?

As all geometry is drawn by triangles, it was necessary to draw an average part from 4 triangles for use glBegin, glEnd 1 time. If to draw quads it is possible to make two separate squares with the general party.
