Hi, I''m trying to use NeHe''s tutorial number 13 about font text. Well, everything is working well except that the text stays in one location and doesn''t move with the camera(I thought glRasterPos should do it). How can I fix this? Thanks, Yuval

glRasterPos dose just that. raster positions something. the ''raster'' is the screen so you could almost call it glPixelPos(). it is a 2d function not 3d so it realy cant move with the camera.

do lesson-14 as it dose 3d text that ''will move with the camera''.

but anyway i personal dont think glRasterPos sould be used with 3d graphics as it makes it almost imposable to use any stereo viewers with you program.
