[osg-users] massive text rendering.

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Igor,

You can implement your own texture using osg::Geometry and reuse the
osg::Font's ability to generate the texture atlas.  It's a bit
involved to get all the alignment etc. issues right but it's perfectly
doable and does perform very well.

However, before you dive off in a complicated but of work I would
suggest testing out OSG-3.6.2 if you haven't already, the internal
implementation is completely different and uses shaders rather than
multi-pass to implement the fonts so should be lightweight.  If this
doesn't perform well enough then fall back to your own custom
solution.

Cheers,
Robert.
