The Demo named "outline fonts" maybe that's what you want,it has source code for windows.

you mentioned you want to draw it in CFormView,the source code above using it's own window that created by hand.

you just have to remove that part of the code,then pass CFormView's hwnd to the code that create opengl context, everything should work the same.

the source code defined this:

HWND        hWnd=NULL; //used by demo's window,


if (!(hDC=GetDC(hWnd))) /change hWnd to "yourCFormViewPointer"->m_hWnd

Also you might not want to use that loop from the source code,put the loop code inside CFormView::ondraw to check if code works until you implement 'real loop'
