lablgl/lablgtk opengl and text/fonts

[Yoann Padioleau]

Hi,

Is there a way to draw text on GlGtk.area ? with a specific font ?
I've seen mentions of FTGL but there is no binding for it in lablgl apparently :(

Hi Yoann

I use the part of glMLite dedicated to FTGL

http://www.linux-nantes.org/~fmonnier/ocaml/GL/
http://www.linux-nantes.org/~fmonnier/OCaml/GL/doc/Ftgl.html

The binding is close to the library (and thus inherits some of its defects)
but has been working very well up to now.

the FTGL bindings are provided in the glMLite tarball in order to ease 
distribution, but it is really agnostic from any opengl bindings,
it even has its own Makefile (Makefile.ftgl) and you can check that if you build 
it nothing else will be build, and you can install it alone,
so you can right use it with LablGL.
