As Matthew has suggested, you can generate the texture using a smaller
point. Once this is done, you can scale the object up, or you can use
the texture on any object.
Text2D has a setRectangleScale(float) method, but it seems not to do
anything. I think is it meant to address this type of problem.
Since Text2D is a Shape3D object, you can use getAppearance() to get
the Appearance NodeComponent with the Texture. Once you have the
Appearance, you can use it for other objects.
A simple example:
Text2D text2d = new Text2D( .........);
Appearance textAppear = text2D.getAppearance();
Shape3D newTextShape = new Shape3D(someGeometry, textAppear);
objRoot.addChild(newTextShape);
