The osgtext example also works for me. osgtext3D just exits with
errorcode 1 - but that's likely an unrelated issue. So it must be
triggered by something that our application does differently compared to
the osgtext example.

Linux/x86_64, gcc 4.4.1. Freetype 1.3.1.
Application is FlightGear. We got several reports on this issue -
involving different compilers/OS/... etc. AFAICS OSG >=2.9.11 is the
only thing common to all reports. Also, according to our devel list, no
one has reported any success with osgtext/OSG>=2.9.11 yet. So, it either
has to be a problem with OSG, or a problem with the way our own sources
use osgText (maybe we're somehow relying on some bug which was fixed by
r12068 or the osgText change reveals some problem on our side which so
far had no effect).
What exactly was the intention of the particular change (see diff in
previous email)?
cheers,
Thorsten
