I have already created a couple of classes for text rendering using jogl, it is part of my creativecomputing framework. I have implemented different font types the fasted is texturemap font where I put all chars into a texture and than break down the text to textured quads. There are also utilities to put a lot of text into a vbo.

Maybe this might also serve as starting point for a jogl implementation.
