Preferred way to render text in OpenGL
- by dukeofgaming
Hi,
I'm about tu pick up computer graphics once again for an university project. For a previous project I used a library called ftgl that didn't leave me quite satisfied as it felt kind of heavy (I tried all rendering techniques, text rendering didn't scale very well).
My question is, is there a good and efficient library for this?, if not, what would be the way to implement fast but nice looking text?. Some intended uses are:
Floating object/character labels
Dialogues
Menus
HUD
Regards and thanks in advance.
EDIT: Preferrably that it can load fonts
