Box instead of Text

Hello, as the title says, when I render text it shows up as a red box instead of text. Here is my code:

public void render3D(){
		/* For some reason, needs commenting for camera to work :p */
		GL11.glClear(GL11.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL11.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear The Screen And The Depth Buffer
		resourceManager.getTextureManager().loadTextureSheet("resources/textures/terrain.png", true);
		
		BlockRenderer.renderBlock(Block.DIRT, 0f, 0f, 0f);
		BlockRenderer.renderWireframeBlock(Block.DIRT, 0f, 1f, 1f);
		
		setOrthoOn();
	    GL11.glBindTexture(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
	    Color.white.bind();
	    
	    _font.drawString(100, 25, "Hello world!", Color.red);
		setOrthoOff();
	}

	
	public static Player getPlayerObject(){
		return p;
	}
	
	public static void setOrthoOn()
	{
	        // prepare to render in 2D
	        GL11.glDisable(GL11.GL_DEPTH_TEST);             // so 2D stuff stays on top of 3D scene
	        GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_PROJECTION);
	        GL11.glPushMatrix();                            // preserve perspective view
	        GL11.glLoadIdentity();                          // clear the perspective matrix
	        GL11.glOrtho(0, Binder.getDisplayMode().getWidth(), Binder.getDisplayMode().getHeight(), 0,-1,1);  // turn on 2D
	        GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_MODELVIEW);
	        GL11.glPushMatrix();                // Preserve the Modelview Matrix
	        GL11.glLoadIdentity();              // clear the Modelview Matrix
	}
	 
	public static void setOrthoOff()
	{
	        // restore the original positions and views
	        GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_PROJECTION);
	        GL11.glPopMatrix();
	        GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_MODELVIEW);
	        GL11.glPopMatrix();
	        GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_DEPTH_TEST);      // turn Depth Testing back on
	}

Thanks for any pointers!
