Hello, I have been hacking at the SDL_ttf glfont.c example (included with the SDL_ttf source code) file in order to improve performance by pre-caching the ogl textures. As it stands right now it seems to render 'i' and 'l' correctly but all other glyphs show up as white or gray rectangles. Any help you might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure if this is an SDL problem I am having or an OpenGL... Here is the nice color coded version: http://paste.lisp.org/display/29373 Or see the attached code Thanks, Sam

Hmmm, if no one sees the problem right away maybe you could give me some tips on debugging applications with OpenGL? If I used a software renderer like MESA maybe I could use traditional debugging techniques? Right now I am staring at the code saying "Well, it looks like it should work!"

Thanks,

In print_glstr function set w to font->glyphs.advance and h to font->height,
since maxx and maxy don't give glyph width and height. Another possibility is the call to TTF_RenderGlyph_Blended. Replace it with TTF_RenderGlyph_Solid.

I would also suggest putting all glyphs in one big OpenGL texture. Something like in NeHe tutorial #17 (textured fonts).

Doh! I figured it out. In the print_glstr function I declared texMinX and friends as int... they should have been GLfloat. Also, I fixed the font alignment...

Now you mentioned using one texture to hold all of the font information. What are the reasons/benefits of doing this?

If I did store them as one texture I could just render one surface that contains all printable characters, and then "chop" the texture into display lists using the glyph metrics correct?

Thanks!

If I did store them as one texture I could just render one surface that contains all printable characters, and then "chop" the texture into display lists using the glyph metrics correct?

Exactly. Also you call glBindTexture only once - for whole printed string and not for each char.

I know very little about OpenGL texture management but I believe that it is better to use one big texture then lots of small ones.

Alright thanks. I can render all printable characters, but in order to make my life easier I am trying to draw lines and points while in SDL_GL_Enter2DMode(); (you know, just so I can see if I am chopping at the right point) but I can not draw anything while in 2D mode. Do you know any reason why I wouldn't be able to? Thanks,
