ID: Q124870

3.50 WINDOWS NT kbgraphic kbgraphic

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) included with:

      - Microsoft Windows NT version 3.5
  

SUMMARY

XFONT.C from the SAMPLES\OPENGL\BOOK subdirectory is not in the MAKEFILE, and subsequently is never built.

MORE INFORMATION

XFONT.C should not be built because the sample uses X Window System system- specific functions. To use fonts with Windows NT version 3.5 OpenGL, use the wglUseFontBitmaps() and glCallLists() functions as described in the OpenGL online reference. Another alternative is to use auxDrawStr(). Note that auxDrawStr is defined in GLAUX.H as:

   #ifdef UNICODE
   #define auxDrawStr auxDrawStrW
   #else
   #define auxDrawStr auxDrawStrA
   #endif
   void APIENTRY auxDrawStrA(LPCSTR);
   void APIENTRY auxDrawStrW(LPCWSTR);
