The port of Henry Maddocks' FTGL library to Linux is progressing very smoothly.

I've written a platform-independent GLUT program which shows the basic usage of FTGL's various text rendering modes. This .tar.gz contains the demo source and a Makefile for building it on the Linux platform: ftgl-demo.tar.gz

Visit Henry's web site for more information about FTGL and to download the FTGL library source distribution.
