What you could do is to attach your text to a scaled TransformGroup like this:
> Transform3D scaleFactor = new Transform3D();
> scaleFactor.setScale(0.1);
> TransformGroup scale = new TransformGroup( scaleFactor );
Font3D font = new Font3D(new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 1), new
FontExtrusion());
Text3D t = new Text3D(font, new String("VRML")); //, posn, 1, 0);
Appearance textApp = new Appearance();
ColoringAttributes colorAttr = new ColoringAttributes(Red, 1);
textApp.setColoringAttributes(colorAttr);
Shape3D Name = new Shape3D(t, textApp);
> scale.addChild(Name);
> return scale;
