			Rendering a nonexistent character has no effect. glutBitmapCharacter automatically sets the OpenGL unpack pixel storage
			modes it needs appropriately and saves and restores the previous modes before returning. The generated call to glBitmap
			will adjust the current raster position based on the width of the character.
