I have checked in:

    /** Get the coordinates of the character corners in local
coordinates. Use Text::getMatrix() or Text::computeMatrix(..) to get
the transform into model coordinates (see TextBase header.) */
    bool getCharacterCorners(unsigned int index, osg::Vec3&
bottomLeft, osg::Vec3& bottomRight, osg::Vec3& topLeft, osg::Vec3&
topRight) const;

Note the comment about needing to transform this coords - this is
required to handle the overall positioning of the text in model
coordinates.

Robert.
