PyGame can apparently render text to bitmaps quite nicely (so can
wxPython, for that matter). I've never gone this route myself.
GLUT has a very limited set of fonts available (see the
OpenGLContext/tests directory for a quicky sample of using that).
That's cross-platform, and generally available when PyOpenGL is.
Until/unless we get one of the "proper" font-rendering libraries
wrapped, those are probably your best bets.
HTH,
