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

[<mi...@na...>]

I wrote a relatively simple but effective "GLText" module for pybzengine.
It's texture based, generally produces nicely hinted output, and has some
Unicode support.

No documentation, but there is LGPL'ed source at 
http://navi.picogui.org/svn/misc/trunk/pybzengine/BZEngine/UI/GLText.py
