Description:

FTGL is a free open source library that enables developers to use
arbitrary fonts in their OpenGL (www.opengl.org) applications. Unlike
other OpenGL font libraries, FTGL uses standard font file formats so
does not need a preprocessing step to convert the high quality font
data into a lesser quality, proprietary format.

FTGL uses the Freetype (www.freetype.org) font library to open and
'decode' the fonts. It then takes that output and stores it in a format
that is most efficient for OpenGL rendering.

Rendering modes supported are: - Bit maps
- Antialiased Pix maps
- Texture maps
- Outlines
- Polygon meshes
- Extruded polygon meshes

FTGL is designed to be used in commercial quality software. It has been
written with performance, robustness, and simplicity in mind.
