Subject: PUI font


After a couple of false starts on my part I finally got PUI to work with
the Blue Marble Viewer (BMV).  It will open many doors to usability.

Because of the internal workings of BMV I have to used PUI without GLUT
which isn't a big problem.

There is however one remaining problem.  My first PUI app was a network
based controller to control the BMV scene.  This one used GLUT and had
great contrast.

The GUI created for BMV without GLUT doesn't have the same contrast nor
apparently the same fonts.

I have attached 2 images.  The bmv_cntrl.jpg is the with GLUT app and
the other jpg is from Blue Marble.  It looks like I am restricted to
using black text without GLUT because that is the only color that is
clear enough.

In the bmv_cntrl program I did not specify a font (used the default
font. There dosen't seem to be any difference if I specify one with in
BMV or not.

I tried
			puSetDefaultFonts(PUFONT_8_BY_13,
PUFONT_8_BY_13);
and
			mButtonFont->load(fontName.c_str());
			puFont times_medium(mButtonFont, fontSize);
			puSetDefaultFonts(times_medium, times_medium) ;

And
			puFont times_medium();
			puSetDefaultFonts(times_medium, times_medium) ;

None of them seem to clear up the problem.  The font size and type
changes on screen so it does appear to be loading the font just not
drawing it clear with any color but black.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
