Text Drawing

[SamiLakka]

Hello,

I'm using GLUT to draw 2D text to screen (glutBitmapString).
Anyhow,  I would like to have a yellow box where this black text is
printed so that the user can see it more clearly (like the popup
screens in some programming editors). Is there any easy way to do
this? My program is in 3D so if I use glVertex3f to draw the box, I
propably should do complex transformations so that the box faces
user directly. And I don't know how I draw the text so that it seems
that it is inside the box.


Regards,
