Hi Vincent, I've never used osgText in conjunction with osg::Billboard before. I can image the mix of on the fly compute matrices might cause problems. osgText has support for billboard behaviour so I'd recommend not adding the text to the billboard, instead just add it as sibling to the Billboard and enable the rotate to screen option on the text object.
