pl_GLScene "missings" was created by 4aiman

Hello everyone!
Let's discuss here what fixes all of us need in pl_glscene package.
I'll start with this:

How do I could use bitmap fonts in Linux 32 bit (ubuntu maverick)?
A simple project stops with AV when I tried to add range at runtime to TGLBitmapFont. It says "not implemented" and drops me here:

function TBitmapFontRanges.Add(const startASCII, stopASCII: AnsiChar): TBitmapFontRange;
begin
  Result := Add(CharToWideChar(startASCII), CharToWideChar(stopASCII));
end;

But the thing is that CharToWideChar function is not implemented for linux. Is there's another way to add ranges? (at designtime I couldn't add it either).

Best regards!

I'll answer for myself :-[
Here is how bitmaps should be loaded into fotn component:

GLBitmapFont1.Ranges.Add;
        GLBitmapFont1.Ranges.Items[0].StartASCII:=#32;
        GLBitmapFont1.Ranges.Items[0].StopASCII:=#255;
        GLBitmapFont1.Ranges.Items[0].StartGlyphIdx:=0;

So, at first GLScenevVewer must be created at run-time, and now I found the same should be done with fonts. We're going to do it all in run time

Anyway, I must report that in 2.1 we have broken TGLBitmap font even under Win XP. I've project WITH normal font rendering (created in 1.6) and just rebuild it. As a result - all russian symbols are gone from the screen...
