Hi Everybody!
Well I've encountered a strange font problem during the implementation 
of nehe lesson #17:
The Font will display, but somewhat mirrored and upside down.

The funny thing is:
As soon as I compile the nehe Project the font is displayed correctly.

Yet even if I copy and paste nehe's code into my project the font is 
             messed up!

Can anybody tell me where the problem could be burried?!

Thank You
M. Ewald

Do you call glPixelTransfer() anywhere to set the
pixel transfer settings? Does NeHe?

Nope. Neither nehe nor myself. why?

Maybe nehe setup projection matrix in ortho mode and origin is
top-left. I suppoise you don't set ortho mode correctly, so
you have bootom-left origin and mirrored y axis.

yooyo

Thanx yooyo!
Changing glOrtho does help, but even that was copied from nehe.
That is exactly the weird part. Even copying and pasting nehe's stuff
(and I mean all of it, but the windows stuff) does flip the fonts...

any suggestions, anyone?
