Tips & Tricks:

Seems to work for Win98, WinNT, WinXP, Win2K, and Win2003.

Sample Code:

        public void glPrint(String outputString,Int32 x1, Int32 y1, Int32 x2,
            Int32 y2)
        {
            if(outputString == null)
                return;

            if(outputString.Length == 0)
                return;

            GL.glPushMatrix();            

            Single scale = 15.0f;

            GL.glMatrixMode(GL.GL_MODELVIEW);
            GL.glTranslatef(x1,y1,0);
            GL.glScalef(scale, -scale, scale);

            GL.glPushAttrib(GL.GL_LIST_BIT);
            GL.glListBase(m_Parent.m_TagcWorkspaceControl.FontBase);

            // Find width of string
            Int32 i=0;
            float width = 0;
            for( ; i<outputString.Length; i++)
            {
                width +=
                    m_Parent.m_TagcWorkspaceControl.gmf[ outputString[i] ] .
                    gmfCellIncX * scale;
                if((x1+width)>=x2)
                    break;
                if((y1+
                    m_Parent.m_TagcWorkspaceControl.gmf[ outputString[i] ] .
                    gmfCellIncY * scale)>=y2)
                    break;
            }

            // Print the string if there is room
            if(i>0)
                GL.glCallLists(i, GL.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, outputString);
            GL.glPopAttrib();

            GL.glPopMatrix();
        }

        public Int32 getPrintWidth(String outputString)
        {
            if(outputString == null)
                return 0;

            if(outputString.Length == 0)
                return 0;

            Single scale = 15.0f;

            // Find width of string
            float width = 0;
            for(Int32 i=0; i<outputString.Length; i++)
            {
                width +=
                    m_Parent.m_TagcWorkspaceControl.gmf[ outputString[i] ] .
                    gmfCellIncX * scale;
            }

            return (Int32)Math.Ceiling(width);
        }
