Texture font :-(

Yes.

No

There was a forum topic some time ago:

Check FGDATA/Docs/README.osgtext. Basically you add a to your model file
something like
<PropertyList>
...all your other model animations...
<text>
... all the fancy text controlling properties go here
</text>
</PropertyList>
You might want to play with
<axis-alignment>screen</axis-alignment>
This should keep your text on the same position on the screen, no matter
where you look at.
and use
<draw-boundingbox type="bool">true</draw-boundingbox>
so you can see a box around the area where you text should be.
Anders has many examples for osgtext in his Zeppelin ifyou need a hint.
