   Help with drawing text
  Hey everyone, first time poster but I spend alot of time reading the boards here, as they have helped me a TON for various projects in the past. Anyways, I am currently writing a 2d top down shooter for a school project, and I am having trouble figuring out how to draw text to the screen. I only need to draw one or two lines of text, and I have tried following several various examples with no luck yet.I am hoping that someone can give me a detailed explaination of the best way to draw small amounts of text to the screen. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and doing the project in C++ with the help of the directx sdk.Thanks in advance!   
  Look at ID3DXFont, it should be sufficient and is quite easy to use.   ;  Most of the D3D tutorial sites have font tutorials:Tutorial 9 here: http://www.riaz.de/tutorials/d3d.htmlScroll all the way down on this page: http://www.drunkenhyena.com/cgi-bin/dx9.pl;  Thanks, was very helpful.
