Hi Sherman and Robert, I'm running into precision issues with osgText as well, mostly with intersections. I'm positioning my text using a MatrixTransform and still see the shimmering that Sherman is talking about, although its not too terrible in my situation since my text objects aren't extremely far away from the origin as in Sherman's case.
The issue I'm having is that I'm using character size mode SCREEN_COORDS. When I zoom in close to the text, it is visible, but intersection tests fail because of the float precision used internally for osgText (as far as I can tell). Having osgText use double internally could potentially solve this issue, but I think if it were to still use PrimitiveFunctor to perform intersection that PrimitiveFunctor would need updated to support double values as well.
