Subject: Rendering text with OpenGL

Hello,

Is there some simple and nice Ruby lib for rendering text into an OpenGL
texture? Something that takes a string and puts out a BGRA/ARGB pixels.

Or if that's a bad idea, what's the usual way of rendering nice-looking
text in GL? By nice-looking I mean variable width anti-aliased truetype
fonts with different font sizes, hinting, line heights and all the usual
font rendering lib niceties. Those niceties being the main reason I
don't really want to cook up my own font renderer :)

Thanks in advance,
Ilmari
