Font effects api

[Allan Murray]

Hello,

Sorry, not really specifically openGL (I am not an openGL programmer), but
thought someone here might know...

There are several apps available to produce fancy text effects (3D, shadow
etc)
eg FontTwister (http://www.neuber.com/twister/), DDTitle
(http://www.softlab-nsk.com/ddtitle/) etc.

I want to incorporate similar effects into my own Windows application. Does
anybody
know of a graphics library that can do this?

I am looking for a small library (hopefully just a single dll), either free
or commercial.

Thanks,
Allan
