I use FTGL for openGL text rendering.

This should get you headed in right direction:

//Init()#include <FTGLBitmapFont.h>const char* font_name = "Arial.ttf";FTFont* FTGL_font = new FTGLBitmapFont( font_name );//----------------------------------------------// Render()// set colorglColor4f(1,0,0,1);// set screen locationglRasterPos2d(screen_x, screen_y);// clear some openGL stateglUseProgramObjectARB( 0 );glActiveTextureARB( GL_TEXTURE0_ARB );const char* frames_per_second = "Frames per second: 60";FTGL_font->Render( frames_per_second );

That should do the trick. I'll see how I go.
