Are there any known issues with the winding of the standard glutsolid functions?

For example, if I render
glutSolidSphere (1.0, 20, 20);
glPushMatrix();
glTranslatef(5,0,0);
glutSolidCone(2, 2, 10, 10);
glPopMatrix();
glPushMatrix();
glTranslatef(-2,0,0);
glutSolidTeapot(1);
glPopMatrix();

with
glFrontFace(GL_CCW);
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glCullFace(GL_FRONT);
then the teapot renders but not the sphere or cone.

likewise,
glFrontFace(GL_CCW);
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glCullFace(GL_BACK);
results in the sphere and cone, but not the teapot...

are they known to be inconsistent in the winding?

Yes, the teapot is wound inside out with respect to the others. It's always been that way, and is documented in the glutSolidTeapot manpage.

Thanks arekkusu!

Is there anything related to OpenGL that you don't know? ;-)
