One approach is to render all the characters into a big
surface in a 16x16 grid or something like that, make a texture
out of it, and then render characters from it using appropriate
texture coordinates.

Another is to use a separate texture for each character,
although that may have more overhead, both in graphics
memory usage and rendering time.
