Font metrics in OpenGL

Hallo,

In Java 2D we have font metrics to detect how much high and long is our text... does anything similar exist in OpenGL?

this code is a sample in my project,i hope this can help u!

textRenderer.begin3DRendering();
textRenderer.setColor(255, 255, 255, 255);
Rectangle2D r2d=textRenderer.getBounds(flatLegendPicInforText);
float scaleFactor=0.0015f;
float textWidth3D=(float) (r2d.getWidth()*scaleFactor);
textRenderer.draw3D(flatLegendPicInforText, x-textWidth3D/2, y,z,scaleFactor);
textRenderer.flush();
textRenderer.end3DRendering();

Great, thank you very much robbiezl :)

Hi

robbiezl showed an example of use with the legacy text renderer that uses Java2D fonts. I don't know how it works with the "new" shader-based text renderer.
