Really ODD Bitmapped font bug

Hey, I''m having this very strange problem with bitmapped fonts. I''m using the NeHe code right now, although i had the same problem with the code from OpenGL Game Programming. Ok, so i get the font all created and then i print to the screen. The odd thing is that text just scrolls across the screen and disappears. I''m not doing anything to affect the coords of the text either. The REALLY odd thing is that when I increase the size of the font, or I increase the number of chars in the string, the speed that it scrolls and disappears is faster. This is really freaking me out so if you have experienced this before or have any idea of what might be going on I would be greatly appreciative. Thanx alot /* ====================== Pop me an email Here "In Windows, the only thing opposing safe mode would be...
