I am using openGL and want to output text to the screen for scoring and key mappings

Try the NeHeGL SDK, it will do a lot of basic stuff for you incluing printing text to the screen. Personally, it helps me a lot in game projects.
NeHe Lessons 13, 14 & 15
Also ensure you are in ortho mode when you're printing text in 2D (see this post on how to switch between 2D/3D)...should save some headaches down the line.

Hope that helps,
Aviosity
