I usually use TrueType fonts. Once you get the hang of it it’s not that difficult. They look better too, and it’s less of a hastle when you want to switch the font familly.
There are a lot of TT libraries that make your life easier. Good luck.

Have you tried this for OpenGL ES or just for OpenGL?

Haven’t tried it using glES, but i know it can be done. Check it out glutes.sourceforge.net .

In my opinion it’s quite useful to use something this because you can switch fonts as you please (don’t like arial? try something else..), change size dinamically (maintaining font quality) and so on.

I guess it depends on what you need the font for.

I do openGL ES font rendering in Native Windows platform and avoid the use of wrappers like glut because the use of glut compromises with speed and performance.So, define glutTrueTypeString using windows API.

Hahahaha! You stay happy with bit-mapped fonts lady! Tonight I’ve rendered truetype fonts in windows mobile using openGL ES APIs.
Nobody can do that except me! I challenge you over this and I ll show you my code if u come up with yours. Else, enjoy ROMANIA! Hehehe!
