I've been playing around with GLUT (latest version from hackage, on Debian) a bit yesterday and am having some troubles with renderString. It works fine when I compile a binary using ghc, but when running from ghci I get an error similar to the following (I don't have the actual error at hand atm).
It might be that this problem is amd64 specific. When running on a very similar setup on another i386 machine, font rendering works fine in both ghci and ghc.
I can reproduce this on openSUSE x86_64 with Misc/ARBOcclude from the GLUT examples, too: Compiling + runnning works, loading the example into GHCi and evaluation main leads to "freeglut (<interactive>): font 0x40c79328 not found". I'll take a look when I find some time, but I am not 100% sure if this a bug in the GLUT package or GHCi. Has this been cross-posted to ghc-bugs? Cheers, S.
