I'm having troubles with lesson 43. I can't get FreeType to work and display text. I made a test program to try to make it work.
I've changed some things from lesson 43, taken out some things I wouldn't need, changed some variables names to respect my own conventions, and mixed it up a little with the tutorial on FreeType's website.
Problem is I don't get any text. OpenGL works fine, as I get a red rectangle. But no text.
The main problem is I don't really understand all that was done in the tutorial, so I might have changed some stuff I wasn't supposed to... I especially cut a whole lot in the "print()" function (renamed "write()" in my code).
Can someone help me get this code to work? Or point out at least what vital part I'm missing, so I can look it up in the tutorial?
Thanks !
