In this episode I go over how to generate a bitmap for any font and font size combination. This is the first step to being able to render fonts using OpenGL, and we will use the bitmap generated in this episode in the next episode as a texture. For additional information about font rendering in OpenGL, see: https://lwjglgamedev.gitbooks.io/3d-game-development-with-lwjgl/content/chapter12/chapter12.html
