Ah, I now built the official sources and indeed it works now, although the part with the fonts is REAAAALLLLYYYY slow on my machine (Matrox G450, Athlon 900MHz).

I really wonder, why font renderin is so slow. Is it, that Gem has to generate a whole lot of polygons for this?

actually FTGL uses display-lists for each glyph. (which should be quite fast unless a) it is done in software ;-) and/or b) the glyph-parsing of the text-string is slow...) i don't know right know, how it is done with GLTT.

with which font-renderer is your version of Gem compiled with ? (it should give you a message when the first text-related object is created)
