rendering some characters in OpenGL ES 2.x scene

Question

I’m new for OpenGL ES 2.x on iOS, and I’m trying to render some characters in the OpenGL ES 2.x scene. But I don’t know how to do it.

So anyone who can point me in the direction of an Objective-C tutorial or post some sample code?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

This question is asked a lot because OpenGL does not have built-in support for text fonts. There is a good survey of solutions and discussion here:

But the easiest solution by far is to use the Print3D class in the PowerVR SDK:
