Robert, I've been working with your new osgText implementation. The improvement in quality is great, especially with outlines and SDF!
I did notice something interesting however. The GREYSALE and SDF shader techniques yield different extents when you call Text::getBoundingBox(). Since I use the bounding box to align elements on the screen, this became immediately obvious when switching to the new osgText code. Here is a simple program you can use to validate: https://pastebin.com/WhFsQSMT In the "osgtext" example, you can also see a wider margin in the alignment box when using SDF vs. GREYSCALE. The SDF technique uses a non-zero glyph texel margin, which I believe accounts for this difference. That got me wondering whether the various AlignmentType techniques ought to be compensating for this extra margin as well. Your thoughts? Should the two techniques be drawing at the same location?
