I believe that is true.

Most who are using TextRenderer are using it for a different purpose than it
was intended. IMO, the solution is to create a RawTextRenderer along the
lines of our Structure Renderer concepts (RTF & MIF) that simply spits the
text out instead of trying to format it much at all. Without funding or
someone to do the development, I think it will be a while before this gets
implemented.
