I don't think so, see below.

AFAIK the text painter was used to export math formulas as ASCII art.
Therefore the setXY() call makes sense. Imagine that the text painter is
like a real painter, but operating on a very coarse grid of character cells
where each cell can be filled with an ASCII character.
I don't know why it is currently disabled. I do know that we have a bugzilla
request for reenabling it. I believe only Andre can tell whether that is
doable or whether the whole drawT machinery should be removed.
