Question

I find a simple (and portable) lib for integrate in a my OpenGL based game.

more simple and little of FreeType?

thanks

Answer 1

Try FreeType, here is a NeHe lesson on how to use it in an OpenGL program.

Answer 2

If your using QT, there's a built in font rendering subsystem, assuming you've sub classed QGLWidget, there is a set of text rendering methods you can call

If you don't find a library, you could always render the text out to an image using photoshop, and then use it as a texture atlas, and render textured quads out

Answer 3

Try FTGL. Its portable, simple in use and can render 3D fonts. But it uses FreeType2.
