oki, i have a targa containing a grid of 96 ANSII charecters and has an alpha channel. I want to load these 96 charecters into display lists as Bitmaps so i can render them onto the raster layer using glRaterPos2f and the glPrint function in the nehe tutorials. Ive looked at the NeHe tutorials and they all generate the font from the system font which is not what i want for portability reasons. Someone must have doen this, any code, advice, and links appreciated Thanks

NeHe has a bitmap font tutorial.... but it isn''t written by him, and is a little farther down than the rest of the "font pack..." He also didn''t write it. But it is there, and it rocks.
