This was actually a bit rude and inadvertently harsh for me to say. What I should have said is: osgText is great if you want 3D text or blazingly-fast text. :) osgPango is good if you're willing to sacrifice a _bit_ of speed (it is slower since I'm not using a custom render function, just special setups of osg::Geometry) for font quality instead, particularly 2D pixel-aligned quality. > > > Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 11:17:11 -0500 > > > From: Jeremy Moles <jer...@emperorlinux.com> > > > Subject: Re: [osg-users] Anti-Grain and OpenSceneGraph > > > To: OpenSceneGraph Users <osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org> > > > Message-ID: <1233073031.3353.40.ca...@dhcp196.emperorlinux.com> > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > > > > > > On Tue, 2009-01-27 at 11:06 -0500, Kurt Sierens wrote: > > > > Has anyone used the Anti-Grain library in OpenSceneGraph?
