I've followed tutorial #14 to create fonts. This works very well, but when I have lighting enabled, the font is also lit. I haven't found a way to make it 'unlit' yet. I tried this : glDisable(GL_LIGHTING); printGlText ("test"); glEnable(GL_LIGHTING); but the results are exactly the same. Does anyone know what I can do ? Thanks in advance.

Sorry I was mistaken. I am following tutorial #13, the one that handles bitmap fonts.
This is the code for the printing function :

void printText (const char *input, ...)
{
char text[256];
va_list ap;

if (input == NULL) return;

va_start(ap, input);
vsprintf(text, input, ap);
va_end(ap);

glPushAttrib(GL_LIST_BIT);
glListBase(base - 32);

glCallLists(strlen(text), GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, text);
glPopAttrib();
}

So as you can see, I'm not turning on lights is this function.
I'm actually doing exactly the same as what tutorial #13 describes, with the difference that I added light in the scene.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure that the problem is the lighting, but I try to give the text a green color by calling glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f), and the outbut is black. When I disable the lighting for the whole scene however (when I don't call glEnable(GL-LIGHTNING) in initGL ), the text is drawn in the color I want.
