Hi, Can anyone tell me how to use SDL_ttf to draw fonts on the screen while using OpenGL? I couldn't find any documentation for this on the net. Thanks

SDL_ttf renders into a SDL_surface. You will then have to use this surface as a GL texture or simply draw it using glDrawPixels.

Have a look at this thread.
