lesson 13 - opengl text, antialiased
hi there,
the tutorial from lesson 13 helped me much, finally i can use text in opengl very simple.
but i don't know how you can get the text antialiased. in the tutorial, it looks very simple by putting the quality parameter to ANTIALIASED_QUALITY.
but there is no AA :( even in the sample program without modifying anything, the text is non-AA..
what am i doing wrong, or have i forgotten something?
it would be great if anyone could help me..
and that reminds me of a second question:
is there a (simple) way to make the text outlined, surrounded with a border?
i tried for myself a bit but got no good results..
any ideas?
thanks,
lacky
To get antialliased text you need either to use one of the antialising modes, or use glEnable( GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH ); it only affects the alpha value so you have to use a blending mode.
for outlines, look at lesson 37, it might give you some clues on how to fake it.
but the correct way is of cause to to have a real text renderer like in lesson 43.
