I'm using Nehe's method of bitmapped fonts:
http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=13
I need to be able to find the width and height of strings in pixels using
these fonts so that I can center text. Does anyone know how to do that?
Also, is this method the best to use to get the highest quality fonts
possible?
thanks,
Bob |

It's not an OpenGL function but I'm guessing it might be something
related
to the "CreateFont" function - you could type that into Google and
look at
the list of related functions.

No, it's the worst. You should probably use something like GLTT. |
