Please help me, Im trying to write a Console in OpenGL, write now, Im just trying to get the text up. I have an array defined: char Buffer[MAX_HEIGHT][MAX_WIDTH]; I then have a function FontPuts which displays a string. I have another function that loops through the Buffer array and sets it to spaces, though for testing I turned to the letter a, and found it was trying to print off the right side of the screen, even though I set the MAX_WIDTH to 20, it was printing over 45 chars across the screen. Here is the rest of the code: void Console_class::DrawBuffer() { //Set Up Matrixies for 2D Printing glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); gluOrtho2D(0, 640, 480, 0); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity(); for(int y1=0; y1<MAX_HEIGHT; y1++) { glRasterPos2f(32,(float)32+(y1*32)); FontPuts(Buffer[y1]); } //Set them Back for 3D glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); // Select The Projection Matrix glLoadIdentity(); // Reset The Projection Matrix gluPerspective(45.0f,(GLfloat)640/(GLfloat)480,0.1f,100.0f); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); // Select The Modelview Matrix glLoadIdentity(); // Reset The Modelview Matrix } void Console_class::SetBuffer() { xpos=ypos=0; for(int y1=0; y1<MAX_HEIGHT; y1++) { for(int x1=0; x1<MAX_WIDTH; x1++) { Buffer[y1][x1] = ''a''; } } } PS: I have been working on this for about 5 days, I would appreciate any help you can offer, or suggestions, or anything, thanks alot.

Hey Druid, Thanks a Lot. I was looking at the source code of the Stone Hedge one(I think), and I saw that none of Header files were there. Im trying to implement the same type of Text you use, but in the loadpic function, what is pic defined as?, thanks a lot, later

Anyone have some OPENGL Text Drawing Functions, I tried Nehe''s but they dont work too well. Later,

This may not be what you''re looking for - but have you seen the OpenGL 3DText screensaver that comes with the MSVC help examples?
Complete source code on how to implement Windows''s fonts using OpenGL.

Just thought I''d mention it...
