Has Tomasz's (h3r3tic's) OpenGL font rendering code been ported to D2?

Thanks for the link!

I don't have time to go over it right now, but that looks promising.  I 
took a shot at porting Tomasz's code a while ago, but I never got it to 
compile.  At least your code /compiles/, so even if it's integrated into 
other stuff, at least I might stand a better chance.

Btw, also a fan of Raptor and Tyrian.  Good taste dude.  ;)
