Hello Chickeneers,

I know you’ve all been waiting to do some text rendering in OpenGL, and now you 
can!

gl-type renders your typeface into a reasonably well packed texture (with 
Freetype) and then lets you create a vertex buffer that represents a string. It 
does basic text layout (i.e. it word wraps) but only supports horizontal 
left-to-right scripts.

Check out the docs here:
