osgCairo is just a nodekit for gluing Cairo's vector drawing API onto an osg::Image object. osgPango uses Cairo to physically draw the fonts on the textures. Will it replace osgText? I don't know. I hope so, but it introduces a dependency on Pango that Robert may not be happy with. Also, there is so much going on now with OSG that I doubt he'd even bother looking until sometime a few months from now, at least. > Thanks, > > David > > _______________________________________________ > osg-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
