[PyOpenGL-Users] font options

[Philip W. <pwi...@gm...>]

I have a Tkinter/Togl/PyOpenGL app and am interested in my options for
drawing 2d text in the OpenGL window.  Text for heads-up text or labels of
entities, maybe tooltip-like prompts.  I don't care about supporting
arbitrarily fonts, as long as I have one good readable font.

Is it possible to use glutBitmapString even though I'm not using GLUT?  Is
this a reasonable approach, any tips for speed?

I'd like to keep my dependencies minimal.  I saw PyFTGL but wondered if it
might be overkill for my needs, and it requires FTGL and FreeType.
