You’re going to need to write your own text renderer in OpenGL. If you have a finite list of strings it may be easier to just pre-prepare them all in a single texture, and render them as single quads per word, or else you could have an atlas of characters and have a single quad per character. Alternatively, you could leverage a library to render to draw the text into a buffer at runtime and then render this to a quad.
If none of this makes sense, I suggest you go do some basic OpenGL tutorials. Google is your friend. A very feature rich font library is FreeType: http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html.
