is there a way to do text with shaders? Like completely?
I always find that my code really slows down as I start to plot text to the screen

right now only letters and numbers are displayed. Would I have to make the font a symbol font if I wanted to use \?#@; etc?

Well yes, it would typically be necessary to actually have the symbols you wish to output in the font you''re using.

the font I am using is Courier (I have also tried Times New Roman), and these both have /''[],.\etc. but they do not show.
I am using word += wParam; to add characters to the string. Doesn''t wParam hold ,./''#[];\etc? If so how do I use them?

wParam contains virtual key codes, which are not the same as ASCII character codes.
It looks like you need to use TranslateMessage to turn WM_KEYDOWN messages into WM_CHAR messages, in which wParam is a normal character code, or use ToAscii to convert the virtual key code into an ASCII character code.

Obviously I use TranslateMessage, so would I just use WM_CHAR instead of WM_KEYDOWN? and how would I implement the other way? Sorry but u weren''t too clear.
