[EDIT] Let me reword this I am creating a list using wglUseFontOutlines(DC, 0, 255, GLF_START_LIST, 0.0, 0.15, WGL_FONT_POLYGONS, @agmf); Where, if you didn't know, GLF_START_LIST is my display list referent. Now the font I am using is not commonly used, and including it with the distribution is something I'm not about to do. What I want to do is DECOMPILE the Display List into GL code, so next time I can use that to create a Display List instead of the font. Right, that makes much more sense.

Nope, sorry, it can''t be done.

The best way would be to do it at run time.

I know your a good programer, so prehaps you might be able to program a function or applet to make a font into a model.

If you don''t need 3d fonts, you can write a raster font tga generate in about 5 minutes. If you need 3d, you should mail the author of Xara3D and ask him about this ;-)
