[PyOpenGL-Users] true type fonts

[Sean R. <mrr...@ya...>]

Here is some code I used to get true type font working. This took a while to
figure out...

handle = 55

def createFont(fontName, fontSize):
   props = {"name":fontName,
            "height":(int)(fontSize),
            "charset":0, "weight":1,
            "pitch and family":18}

   pf = win32ui.CreateFont( props )
   hdc = wglGetCurrentDC()
   pdc = win32ui.CreateDCFromHandle(hdc)

   old = pdc.SelectObject(pf)
   result = wglUseFontBitmaps(hdc , 0, 255, handle)
   if not result:
         print "ERROR!"
   pdc.SelectObject(old)

def drawText(text, pos, color):
    glColor4ub( color[0], color[1], color[2], color[3] )
    glRasterPos2i(position[0], position[1])
    glListBase(handle)
    glCallLists(text)

This fails on some machines though, when trying to create the truetype
font... I
dunno why.
