[osg-users] osgText quality (UNCLASSIFIED)

I leveraged the Font class and its internal Glyph sets for calling
glBitmap.
This is how Glut does text, which is nice and crisp.
However, it results in purely billboarded text, unless you do the
rotations yourself.
I would like to have used XFonts but I'll be cross platform.
But, I'm able to leverage TrueTypeFonts.

Subject: [osg-users] osgText quality

Hi,

  have anybody any hints about which parameters values give the best
quality with osgText? In my app i must show some text (normally 10-20
pixel height), and the quality i have been able to achieve is not good.
I noticed also in osgText that some characters are clipped ( most
visible for e and c characters, event at a great font resolution). 

  I was also looking for a way to look at the texture that osgText is
creating, but haven't found one.
 
Thanks a lot,
Himar.
