Hi Robert, This august, Martin Prosicky posted a patch to work around a longstanding bug in osgText::Text using the SCREEN_COORDS mode. I came across this bug and noticed your discussion (http://lists.openscenegraph.org/pipermail/osg-users-openscenegraph.org/2007-August/001607.html). I applied Martin's patch and my aspect ratio bug went away. I am using the SVN version of the OSG.
Is it that you did not want to apply the patch, not to risk breaking existing applications ? Or that you did not want to merge the file with it's not so pretty #ifdef COMPILE_MartinProsicky_text_aspect_ratio_code macro ? However, if you don't have the time to dig into that issue, I propose the following: I can patch osgText::Text so that it has another member in the CharacterSizeMode and so that users can choose whether they want the old or new way to compute SCREEN_COORDS. We could rename the existing code so that SCREEN_COORDS becomes SCREEN_COORDS_LEGACY (or something like that) and that Martin's code becomes the new SCREEN_COORDS. This way, people seeing problems with an SVN update could easily roll back to the previous size computation algorithm, while if everything goes seamlessly (which was the case for me), the change could go unnoticed and the SCREEN_COORDS_LEGACY thing could be removed. Of course I am open to any other workaround you might suggest. Any thoughts ?
