I am using texture fonts in FTGL to render fonts into multiple canvases as labels for axis and such. My first plot comes out fine. However all subsequent canvases render my texture fonts as simply black squares. I've also noticed that some numbers do not display on the canvas which actually renders. The "Center Time" should display 8.3956 but displays the following instead. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VT9Ef.png" alt="enter image description here"> The font rendering is as follows: <pre><code> glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_FILL); PushGLMatrices(); GrSetPixelProjection(); glTranslatef(pixelX, pixelY, 0.0); glRotatef(ang, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0); savedFont->Render(label); PopGLMatrices(); </code></pre> where <pre><code> void PushGLMatrices() { glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glPushMatrix(); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glPushMatrix(); } void PopGLMatrices() { glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glPopMatrix(); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glPopMatrix(); } </code></pre> I've tried a few things such as clearning color and depth bits, and glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); but that didn't seem to help. For some reason, if I add FTTextureFont::FaceSize(int) into one of my routines which returns the width of the text, everything displays correctly (albeit slowly). From looking at the FTGL source code, it doesn't seem like FaceSize() would manipulate the openGL parameters except for a glDeleteTexture() call, so I'm a bit confused why this works.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
