\fs24 \cf0 The files NSFont_OpenGL.h and NSFont_OpenGL.m add a category to NSFont, which allows easy OpenGL display list creation of bitmaps based on the receiver's font.\

\fs36 \cf0 \ul Example
\fs24 \ulnone \
Using the new method is easy; if myFont is an NSFont created by normal methods, and displayListBase is the value returned from a call to glGenLists(), then you can create display lists for the printable ASCII character set by doing:\
\
[ myFont makeGLDisplayListFirst:' ' count:95 base:displayListBase ];\
\
This creates a set of display lists, starting at displayListBase, with 95 characters starting with the space.  Returns TRUE if all went well, FALSE otherwise.\
\

\fs36 \ul Logging
\fs24 \ulnone \
By default, if any errors are encountered, NSLog() will be used to note what happened.  If you wish to disable the logging of errors, use\
\
[ NSFont setOpenGLLogging:NO ];\
\
to disable logging.  This is done class-wide since most debug issues are either wanted or not, instead of being wanted in only some cases.\
