Draw text with OpenGL?

[oOhttpOo]

I'm trying to draw 2D text in a sf::window so that I can use OpenGL in it too, but you (correct me if i'm wrong) can only draw with render windows. Is it possible to draw stuff in 2D (text etc.) with OpenGL in sf::Window class? Or should I use a different library?

Reading your past posts it's evidently clear that you're missing a lot of basic programming and C++ knowledge, so I strongly recommend you don't try to do anything OpenGL, but instead learn some basics and get a simple game or similar done.

And yes you need the graphics module with render window to draw text with SFML.

Well that's where you're very wrong. I have far more experience than you think. Why post at all if you are not even going to attempt to help about the issue?

Nope... this is impossible with SFML, you'll just have to use a different library, like SDL, GLFW, allegro, GLUT or similar. They allow you this flexibility and are probably better for someone like yourself with OpenGL experience anyway.

Seriously, RTFM: Read the f**king manual.

@oOhttpOo, if you need help using OpenGL directly to draw text then I would recommend this tutorial. It shows you how to get started using the FreeType libraries directly.
