  • \$\begingroup\$ There is a box because you're rendering the text over the scene. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @a_donda Is there a way to just render the text and have the box transparent? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Are you correct use alpha blending? Are you draw text last? And are you have alpha in texture? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 18, 2020 at 18:09
  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes. But the freetype pages and numerous examples explain that exhaustively. Also, you don't want to have blending enabled all the time. Here's how text rendering can go: extract glyphs, assemble font texture/s, assemble static buffer/s for fixed text. Enter loop: assemble dynamic buffer/s for per frane text, render scene, enable alpha blending, render text, diable alpha blending, next frame. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @a_donda I understand the article im just not sure if im over seeing something like if i forgot to enable something at the current moment performance is not a concern right now \$\endgroup\$

To remove box around text(ASSUMING YOU HAVE GL_DEPTH_TEST ENABLED): Disable GL_DEPTH_TEST before drawing your text Enable GL_DEPTH_TEST after rendering text

  • \$\begingroup\$ That's a guess. It may suppress the symptom in your case, but if done right depth remains untouched. After the scene has been rendered the text is rendered with alpha blending enabled. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Its not a depth test problem. Depth test can complete hide glyph, but cant create rect. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 18, 2020 at 22:45
  • \$\begingroup\$ @НикитаСамоуков As you can see from the image i get this box around my text when i don't disable and reenable depth test..... I want to use the text as a UI like life left ect..... That doesn't interact with the world cords but just the window cords \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Its not a depth test problem. Warch your draw order, you should draw text last. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 20, 2020 at 0:46
