Furthermore, a package GL.Text has been added which provides a more high-level API similar to FTGL. It depends on Dmitry A. Kazakov's excellent Strings_Edit [2] package for UTF-8 decoding so that it is easy to render any UTF-8 string. Since the FreeType binding may be useful for purposes unrelated to OpenGL, it is also available as a separate project [3]; however, it currently has no own versioning scheme and no documentation and is simply synchronized with the OpenGLAda repository. The binding is not complete; it only wraps the parts that were necessary to use it with OpenGL. This may improve in the future. The current OpenGLAda release is available as tag of its repository [1].
