I was looking for a library that uses OpenGL 3+ to render text / UI controls. Are there any examples / free libraries (preferably LGPL, MIT, etc) that demonstrate how this can be done.
I do not like to use GLUT and last I checked, FTGL did not use OpenGL 3.
I am not sure if SFML uses OpenGL 3+ for rendering text, but I do know that using it is more rewarding than GLUT. It can output text onto the window with the
sf::Textclass. Check out the documentation for the 2.0 version. Also, license states it is free to use “as-is”, only to credit the author. And the most important thing it is portable.Also there is a tutorial for a CEGUI library combined with SFML to create GUI elements. It could be good enough, I have not tried it unfortunately.
