OpenGL Text

I have some OpenGL code based on NeHe''s code for useing fonts in OpenGL. The program works on several computers except for my laptop and its old video drivers When the program is run it locks up at the point where it is displaying the font TitleFont (see code below). Using old drivers that I found it works but performance is terrible. Below is the code I used to initialize the fonts; please tell me I''m doing something wrong and its not that my laptop can''t handle fonts in OGL! HFONT font; // Windows Font ID HFONT oldfont; // Used For Good House Keeping TitleFont = glGenLists(96); font = CreateFont( -150, 0, 0, 0, FW_NORMAL, // Font Weight FALSE, // Italic FALSE, // Underline FALSE, // Strikeout ANSI_CHARSET, OUT_TT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, ANTIALIASED_QUALITY, FF_DONTCARE|DEFAULT_PITCH, "SolsticeOfSuffering"); oldfont = (HFONT)SelectObject(hDC, font); wglUseFontBitmaps(hDC, 32, 96, TitleFont); SelectObject(hDC, oldfont); DeleteObject(font); MenuFont = glGenLists(96); font = CreateFont( -72, 0, 0, 0, FW_NORMAL, // Font Weight FALSE, // Italic FALSE, // Underline FALSE, // Strikeout ANSI_CHARSET, OUT_TT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, ANTIALIASED_QUALITY, FF_DONTCARE|DEFAULT_PITCH, "SHLOP"); oldfont = (HFONT)SelectObject(hDC, font); wglUseFontBitmaps(hDC, 32, 96, MenuFont); SelectObject(hDC, oldfont); DeleteObject(font); NormalFont = glGenLists(96); font = CreateFont( -50, 0, 0, 0, FW_NORMAL, // Font Weight FALSE, // Italic FALSE, // Underline FALSE, // Strikeout ANSI_CHARSET, OUT_TT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, ANTIALIASED_QUALITY, FF_DONTCARE|DEFAULT_PITCH, "Shlop"); oldfont = (HFONT)SelectObject(hDC, font); wglUseFontBitmaps(hDC, 32, 96, NormalFont); SelectObject(hDC, oldfont); DeleteObject(font); I use the following code to draw the fonts to the screen: void DrawString(int x, int y, unsigned int base, char *str, int displacement = 32) { glRasterPos2i(x, y); if ((base == 0) || (str == NULL)) return; glPushAttrib(GL_LIST_BIT); glListBase(base - displacement); glCallLists(strlen(str), GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, str); glPopAttrib(); return; } Wizzard rhollencamp@zoominternet.net
