Hi, good and bad news: Robert Osfield (OpenSceneGraph maintainer) kindly looked into our OSG text issue and fixed the character spacing problem (an issue introduced with osg 2.9.11 causing text to be "scattered" across the screen). The actual problem was an update to the osgText which also required updated font plugins - and the osg::txf plugin was forgotten (which is the font format we're using).
While fixing this issue he also found another bug, which apparently had meant that the actual font size of osgText::text wasn't correctly matching the specified size. This issue was also fixed. However, this triggers new issues in FlightGear since font sizes have changed: fonts are larger in some places now, and they are a lot smaller in other places. Looks strange to me - but apparently that's supposed to be the "correct" behaviour now. We should find out what impact that change has on us. I've found a few places where fonts a messed up now, i.e. see: http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=268#c14 We could ask osg to introduce a switch in order to restore the original font size behaviour (to avoid a regression) - but that'd probably be a lot of hassle. And I'm not sure they'd really do us the favour. It be great if a few more people now tested latest osg trunk and report places (aircraft) where fonts are messed up now. If I don't get any (or very few) reports, I assume that it's not a huge problem for us (we'll have to live with it). If there were many reports, I'll try to ask osg for another solution. Also: it seems 3D clouds are broken with current OSG-trunk. Works well for me with older OSG versions. Can anyone else confirm the issue? In order to test all this, you need to use latest OSG-trunk (i.e. revision 12419) and be at ease with compiling/rebuilding osg/simgear/flightgear.
