OpenTK provides some simple font support through the TextPrinter class (you can find this in OpenTK.Compatibility.dll). Unfortunately, I no longer have the time to support the TextPrinter - this project is in need of a maintainer that will develop it further. It works though.

If you more advanced support than what is provided by the TextPrinter, you will have to use a 3d-party project, like FTGL# or ISE.FreeType (google will reveal their download locations). Both should be usable alongside OpenTK.
