Hello,

I hope I have this in the right forum.  Here goes.

I've recently started a project that involves a map with targets on it using DX9.  I've gotten down the basics, but I am having problems with rendering text.  Each target has an identifier and an altitude associated with it, and I need that text rendered alongside it.  I started by using mesh.textfromfont, but dynamically creating even a single label every loop, using an idle-render loop, increases my CPU usage dramatically.  There is no way I can use this for 100 or so targets.  I've looked into sprites for drawing the text, as it needs to be 2D, however, my problem is that I need the text at a certain location in the world.  Is it possible to use sprites with world coordinates?  I guess what I'm really asking is the best way to draw 2D text using world coordinates rather than screen coordinates?  Could someone point me to some sample code?  Thanks, SMJ!
