I have been able to display some text in the viewport according to answers provided in this thread:
https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/4169/3712_draw-text-to-viewport-like-measureconst

However, I haven't been able to change the font size. Searching through the forum did provide  a single solution:
https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/8025/10428_size-of-the-character-of-geclipmap&KW=setfont&PID=40428#40428

But I cannot get it to work, as calling SetFont or SetFontSize always fail.

trial 1

  
Float gFontScale = 3;  
BaseContainer fontDescription;  
clipMap->GetDefaultFont(GE_FONT_DEFAULT_SYSTEM, &fontDescription);  
Float fontSize;  
clipMap->GetFontSize(&fontDescription, GE_FONT_SIZE_INTERNAL, &fontSize);  
Bool ret = clipMap->SetFont(&fontDescription, fontSize * gFontScale);  

trial 2

  
BaseContainer fontbc;  
if (!GeClipMap::GetDefaultFont(GE_FONT_DEFAULT_SYSTEM, &fontbc)) return FALSE;  
  
Bool ret = clipMap->SetFontSize(&fontbc, GE_FONT_SIZE_INTERNAL, 50.0);

Hello,

both GetDefaultFont and SetFontSize are static functions. You find some example code on how to use such functions in the GeClipMap Manual.

best wishes,
Sebastian

Thanks Sebastian,

I still couldn't get the SetFontSize to work.
But from the GeClipMap manual example I managed to get the (non-static) SetFont to work.
