Hi Robert, I would have hoped just using a MatrixTransform on top and SCREEN_COORDS for characterSize would have worked as well, but it doesn't at very zoomed in levels in my case. This is due to to the fact that osgText is resizing the glpyh quads to maintain the character size onscreen instead of drawing the text in an orthographic projection. Actually, if you simply set the text to SCREEN_COORDS and zoom as far as you can to the text, the text will actually disappear completely and never re-appear even if you zoom back out b/c the size of the quads has went to zero.
I believe the intersection problem is due to the use of floats in Text.cppto compute the glyph positions and also that PrimitiveFunctor is using floats internally to compute the intersections. I could be wrong about PrimitiveFunctor b/c I believe I saw a recent change that added double support. Thanks!
