			Without using any display lists, <tt>glutStrokeCharacter</tt> renders the character in the named stroke
			font. The available fonts are:
		</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><tt>GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN</tt></span></dt><dd>
						A proportionally spaced Roman Simplex font for ASCII characters 32 through 127. The maximum top character
						in the font is 119.05 units; the bottom descends 33.33 units.
					</dd><dt><span class="term"><tt>GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN</tt></span></dt><dd>
						A mono-spaced spaced Roman Simplex font (same characters as <tt>GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN</tt>) for
						ASCII characters 32 through 127. The maximum top character in the font is 119.05 units; the bottom descends
						33.33 units. Each character is 104.76 units wide.
					</dd></dl></div><p>
			Rendering a nonexistent character has no effect. A <a href="glTranslate.3G.xml"><tt>glTranslatef</tt></a> is used to
			translate the current model view matrix to advance the width of the character.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutStrokeCharacter.3GLUT-example"/><h2>Example</h2><p>
			Here is a routine that shows how to render a string of ASCII text with <tt>glutStrokeCharacter</tt>:
		</p><pre class="programlisting">void output(GLfloat x, GLfloat y, char *text)
{
    char *p;
    
    glPushMatrix();
    glTranslatef(x, y, 0);
    for (p = text; *p; p++)
        glutStrokeCharacter(GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN, *p);
    glPopMatrix();
}</pre><p>
			If you want to draw stroke font text using wide, antialiased lines, use:
		</p><pre class="programlisting">glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glEnable(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glLineWidth(2.0);
output(200, 225, "This is antialiased.");</pre></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutStrokeCharacter.3GLUT-see_also"/><h2>See Also</h2><p>
