VRML97-like Text node for displaying text

Note that the OpenGLContext Text node provides a number of enhancements to the VRML97 text node, the most pronounced of which is the ability to specify different "geometry formats" as attributes of the fontStyle node.

Each text node acquires a pointer to a "font" object from an appropriate fontprovider, as determined by the fontprovider.FontProvider class's getProviderFont method.

XXX Do not currently support right-to-left fonts XXX Do not currently support vertically-ordered fonts

compile( self , mode = None )

Compile the text node to provider, font, lines-set

render( self , visible = 1 , lit = 1 , textured = 1 , mode = None )

Render a text-node

Depending on the geometry format of the text, the resulting text may be bitmaps blitted directly to the screen, polygonal text rendered in 3-D, or line-set text outlines rendered in 3-D.
