This most likely is a simple question; though I know all about the DirectX methods, this is my first attempt at a large 3D project, so I''m not too great at implementing them yet.
I''m using the CreateText method of a D3DX8 object to create a text mesh in my program. However, whenever I try to create it, it comes out horizontally inverted. I set up matricies to flip this text, but it does not seem to be a true mesh... it seems not to have any depth. I made it rotate horizontally to confirm this, and as soon as it gets past 180 degrees, it disappears, reappearing when it gets back to 360. I know this is probably something stupid on my part, but I''d appreciate it if someone can at least point me in the right direction. Thanks.
