Hey all,

   I just want to publicly make note of the solution to a problem I
was having. It seems that my ATI card seems to have a text rendering
problem with OSG. Everything runs fine, but the text glyphs are
garbled: http://www.catskul.org/Screenshot.png

My set up is a ATI Radeon R250 Mobility FireGL 9000, Ubuntu 7.04 using
the open source ATI 3d drivers.

The solution is to use a work around that Robert added in a while ago
for some (unrelated?) OSX issue:
http://openscenegraph.net/pipermail/osg-users/2006-August/066465.html

set 'OSG_TEXT_INCREMENTAL_SUBLOADING' environment variable to 'OFF'

I would be suggesting that a special case be added in the code, but
its not clear what it should be conditional on. I'm not sure weather
the problem is the hardware or the driver, and furthermore, the
renderer string for the open source driver seems to hide which
hardware is available:

renderer string: `Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL`


Anyone else notice a similar problem ?
