Do not use bitmap fonts. Create a font texture and draw alpha tested quads. This is faster, better looking and does not have the limitations of glRasterPos.
hih
how can I do that?

I cannot teach you OpenGL font handling on this list as this is an OpenGL "problem" and not specific or even related to Lazarus. But you may want to take a look at this page:

Googling 'font texture' and 'OpenGL' will give you plenty of results, too.
