ANN: FTGL 1.0. Portable truetype font rendering in OpenGL

Hi folks. I've just released some Haskell bindings to FTGL at http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/FTGL . FTGL is an easy to use library for portable rendering of TrueType fonts in OpenGL, with functions for creating bitmapped fonts, texture-mapped fonts, buffered fonts, polygonal 2D fonts, and extruded polygonal 3D fonts. The code works on Windows and Linux. I've not tested it yet on the Mac. To use FTGL in your programs, just import Graphics.Rendering.FTGL and use do font <- createTextureFont "font.ttf" setFontFaceSize font 24 72 renderFont font "some string" More documentation can be found at the FTGL homepage at http://ftgl.sourceforge.net -- Jeff

Good work. Native packages for Arch Linux available, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18918

That's a great contribution, thanks! Now we have OpenGL, GLFW, FTGL, DevIL, OpenAL, and it's getting better and better. -- Felipe.

Is DeviL currently working? I don't see any Haddock documentation,
and it says "build-failure ghc-6.8"...
