Re: [libcvd-members] GUI/GVars readline code

[Gerhard Reitmayr]

quite reasonable. I started a pure gl-based implementation not using any
toolkit besides the CVD::glwindow class, because I have an on screen
display (similar to Georg) for the mobile setups anyway. I am just not
happy with my current text rendering solution, using my own line fonts.
What are your solutions to rendering text in gl  (or without gl for that
matter)?
