Fonts in Warcraft3. How they keep them the same size on different resolutions?

And how would you go to render fonts like they do on the heros description and hit point that apear on the screen while you play, all this in openGL. I render my fonts with the Freetype lib in ortho mode, but I think ortho would be a bitch in order to make the text be in a certain/moving area of a 3D rendered scene... I'm using ortho mode because is the only way I can make the font be rendered with the appropiate size (in pixels). Besides, in Warcraft3's menu, when you change the resolution, the fonts in the buttons and everything else remain with the same size, no matter what resolution you pick. I'm blank. I don't know how to do it. help? Thanks EDIT: I know Warcraft3 runs with DirectX. [edited by - owl on June 4, 2004 2:44:31 AM]
