[Csgl-users] GLOutlineFont - my working version.

[Ben H. <be...@ex...>]

I am sharing this information in the hopes that it can be included in a
future version of CsGL.


Here are the two files that make up my version of the GLOutlineFont

http://www.exocortex.org/csgl/GLOutlineFont.cs
http://www.exocortex.org/csgl/Win32Native.cs

I make use of the GLOutlineFont class in the following way:

(1) Inside InitGLContext I do the following:

  _glFont = new GLOutlineFont( this.Context, new Font( "Arial", 15 ) );
  _glFont.Init( Win32Native.GetDC( this.Handle ) );

(2) Then to use this class to write a font to the screen I do the
following inside the Paint() function:

  _glFont.DrawString( "my String" );

Hope that helps.
