Thanks for the links you gave, but they don't help me.

I just took a quick glance at lesson 13. Do a text search on the lesson for the
ANTIALIASED_QUALITY parameter. This makes windows anti-alias the fonts when they're generated. As far as I can tell however, these are also raster (hence the call to glRasterPos2f) based fonts. The last time I took a good look at lesson 13 was about 4 years ago, correct me if i'm wrong.

If you want to use a vector based font system you need to use the fonts described in:
http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=14
If you want to control the anti-aliasing using this font system, you can use the anti-aliasing approach described in:
http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=21
and on page 181 of the red book:

I have set the parameter to ANTIALIASED_QUALITY. So that can't be the problem. But it leads to the question : can these rasters have another colour than black & white?

I dont think we're communicating correctly. Can you describe your problem in more detail?

Hmmm, my problem was that I want to render rasterfont anti-aliased.

But looking at the red book, it says that each pixel in such a raster has either a 1 or a 0 value. not 0.238 for example. So there isn't straightforward way to make anti-aliased fonts with them. Is this correct ?
