Thank you Robert and Jean, fortunately could figure out what the problem was using the god blessed OSG_NOTIFY_LEVEL=DEBUG :)
In fact it seemed that the plugin could be found and used but then OSG failed to load it. This was because of course the plugin depends on the freetype DLL library itself which wasn't in the path so I just had to add it to the path and woila', fonts are loading and text is beautiful :) Thanks again, M.
