a look up table is definately the way to go... but do you really want to use
bitmap fonts ??? I would think they would look kinda jagged, especially at a
45 degree angle. GLUT ( the OpenGL Utility Toolkit ) draws characters very
nicely at arbitrary angles using stroke fonts. I would definately look at
the GLUT code before I implemented anything. 

see :

I would think this could be done within nanogui or on top of.
