fonts don't work
I am making a small game (2d), and I want to use fonts in it. I did everything described in tutorial #13, but the text doesn't draw. The weird thing is that I used this code (I just copy-pasted for a large part) already in another game I made (a 3d one). This is the relevant code :
I used about the same code as you did, but there are some differences.
First i think its better to use not twice the GLuint base for storing your display lists in.
Better :
LargeFont : GLuint LargeBase
SmallFont : GLuint SmallBase
And Also when you free your display list :
glDeleteLists(LargeBase, 96);
glDeleteLists(SmallBase, 96);
Now you have 2 seperated Display List with each there own Font
If you now want to print your text you'll have to adjust your glPrint function
GLvoid printText(GLuint base, const char* fmt, ...) {
-> Same Code
}
Now you can call the function like this :
printText(LargeBase, "Your text to write to the screen %d", Integer);
printText(SmallBase, "your text to write to the screen %s", String);
He now knows which Display list to use to create/write your text.
Don't forget to initialize your SmallBase and LargeBase as globals.

This doesn't solve the problem. Even when I try to make only one font, it doesn't work. Is this problem caused because I use glOrtho() instead of gluPerspective() ?
I couldn't say that. I mostly use gluPerspective() instead of glOrtho().
I suggest try it out and you'll know it fast enough.

It's not a glOrtho problem. You're just drawing your text off the top off the screen. You're starting at the origin (top-left from your glOrtho call) and moving the raster position up for the first string and up and to the left for the second string. Since the raster position defines the bottom left hand corner of the text it is being rendered entirely off screen. Move it down and to the right. Also, your printText function is just begging to be buffer-overflowed. I know it's just copied from NeHe's tutorials, but it's still horrible code. If you're using C++ use a stringstream or boost::format. If you're working in C then look into _vsnprintf.
