I have the hershey vector fonts running on top of GL if that is of use..

Initially it was part of GNU-digs but I have made a digs compatibility
library that allows it (and other GNU-digs programs) to run under GL.

To use it, you must use 

	vectfont(n);	/* select font # n */
	...
	move(x, y, z);
	hcharstr("hello world");

Of course, since it is a vector font, it is subject to all the usual 3D 
transfomations...
