Could you create a small example that prints the a set of different fonts at different sizes against quad the same hight as the font for reference. Running this against OSG-2.8.x and OSG-2.9.15+/svn/trunk will reveal a bit more what is happening w.r.t sizing. > Even if the font size is correct now, one could still consider it a > regression. I believe we've fixed bugs in osgText and the sizes should now be more realiable and consitent across different font types and means of rendering. Breaking code that relied upon the original bugs is a tricky area, to call fixing a bug a regression is not really appropriate. > Not sure how you usually handle such cases for OSG.

I can't see a way of re-introducing the original buggy scaling, the intention of the changes was to make things more consistent so users needn't use awkward scaling factors to workaround the original scaling problems. I suspect users have adjusted scaling iteratively to workaround the orignal scaling inconstenicies so may have not realized that it was broken - it was only when I put Text3D and Text fonts side by side did I found out that the scaling was broken for both types of Text and different types of fonts. I guess you might be able come up with a workaround to apply the the txf plugin, perhaps as post process scaling. >> I'll be releasing the next dev release this week and I really don't want >> OSG-3.0 >> to be too far out, so shoudl be out in time for the next rev of >> OpenFlight unless >> this is imminent.

Ooops I meant FlightGear ;-) Do you have a date for the FlightGear release?
