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

I just remembered I also wrote a tool for this as a project at
university (in Java, because I had to) last year:

http://gitorious.org/fmapper

It spits out a texture or a set of textures with tightly packed 
glyphs
of specified font with specified parameters, and a text file
containing offsets and texture coords of glyphs.

There is an example C++/OpenGL
program on how to load the textures and draw fonts.

Only supports the basic multilingual plane, though.


If you're only using a fixed number of font sizes, you can 
generate textures
for them with this.

It's not as flexible, but probably easier than writing your own 
code
based on FreeType.


Note that it's not maintained - I hate Java - but it should work.
