glutStrokeCharacter - renders a stroke character using OpenGL.

<H2>ARGUMENTS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><I>font</I><DD>
Stroke font to use.
<DT><I>character</I><DD>
Character to render (not confined to 8 bits).
</DL>

<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
Without using any display lists, glutStrokeCharacter renders the
character in the named stroke font. The available fonts are:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><B>GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN </B>
<DD>
A proportionally spaced Roman Simplex font for ASCII characters
32 through 127. The maximum top character in the font is 119.05
units; the bottom descends 33.33 units.
<DT><B>GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN </B>
<DD>
A mono-spaced spaced Roman Simplex font (same characters as
GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN) for ASCII characters 32 through 127. The
maximum top character in the font is 119.05 units; the bottom
descends 33.33 units. Each character is 104.76 units wide.
</DL>
<P>
Rendering a nonexistent character has no effect. A glTranslatef is
used to translate the current model view matrix to advance the width of
the character.
<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
<H2>EXAMPLE</H2>
Here is a routine that shows how to render a string of ASCII text
with glutStrokeCharacter:
<PRE>
void
output(GLfloat x, GLfloat y, char *text)
{
char *p;
glPushMatrix();
glTranslatef(x, y, 0);
for (p = text; *p; p++)
glutStrokeCharacter(GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN, *p);
glPopMatrix();
}
</PRE>
<P>
If you want to draw stroke font text using wide, antialiased lines, use:
<PRE>
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glEnable(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glLineWidth(2.0);
output(200, 225, "This is antialiased.");
