[PyOpenGL-Users] any font fns on the horizon? (in Linux)

[Maciej K. <ma...@cs...>]

Is there any work being done on getting some font functionality into
PyOpenGL?  I'm mostly interested in fonts for just plain OpenGL (i.e.,
not GLUT, not GLContext... don't want to port my code, if I can help
it).  If so, what type will they be? Lines?  Polygonal? Texture-based?

For the time being, until something official (and solid) comes out in
PyOpenGL, I've hacked myself a SWIG wrapper for a set of C functions
that do texture fonts, the ones described here:
  http://www.opengl.org/developers/code/mjktips/TexFont/TexFont.html

If anyone is interested, I can make it available.  Drop me a line and
I'll try to clean it up before putting it up online.  Be warned though,
it is just a quick SWIG wrap (and I just "learned" SWIG), *and* even the
original is not the cleanest, most robust C code either.  A bit of
tweaking will likely be necessary.
