// utility functions for TrueType font OpenGL graphics

// FTGL OpenGL TrueType/FreeType font rendering
// you will need to build & link against freetype2 and ftgl
// tested using ftgl version 2.1.3 rc5 and freetype version 2.3.9

// ftgl library:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/ftgl/files/FTGL%20Source/
// freetype2 library:  http://www.freetype.org/

// this should basically be a drop-in for the old boinc txf_* functions i.e.
//  txf_load_font and txf_render_string, with extra options on the latter for rotating etc

// originally adapted by Carl Christensen
