From March Sciabica, "Here is the solution I coded up over the weekend. For improved performance option, I added a flag to control whether the depth writing pass is performed. Since text is alpha-blended when rendering, it is placed in the transparent bin and rendered back to front. Writing to the depth buffer should therefore be unnecessary. Indeed, rendering something behind text (or any blended object) after that object is drawn will give incorrect results whether the depth buffer is written or not. I therefore think it is safe to keep this option off by default. Users can turn it on for any special needs they have. I did not fix the existing backdrop implementations to work with the new code since this new method of rendering intrinsically handles backdrops correctly. Its results are more accurate than all of the existing backdrop implementations. Its only downside is that it requires two passes if depth buffer updates are desired, whereas DEPTH_RANGE and POLYGON_OFFSET achieve their (less accurate) results in one pass. The NO_DEPTH_BUFFER method also only uses one pass, but it disables depth tests and not depth writes so will have serious problems if anything is drawn in front of the text before OR after the text is drawn. Given the better all-around behavior of the new method, I believe the other backdrop implementations can be safely removed. Code that adjusts the backdrop implementation will of course be broken if the member functions are removed. For this reason I left them in, but set the new rendering method as the default backdrop implementation. At the very least I think the old backdrop implementations should be deprecated and removed at a later date.

/* POLYGON_OFFSET:

* This probably should have been the best option, but all the ATI
* cards we have encountered so far have serious problems with this.
* We see little white holes/artifacts in the rendered glyph textures
* which move around depending on the viewing angle. For moving text,
* the moving holes give an extremely unpleasant flickering effect.
* Pumping up the "units" parameter in glPolygonOffset can minimize
* this problem, but two other bad side-effects occur if you do this.
* First, high values will cause problems with clipping, particularly
* when there are objects behind the text. The drop-shadows or outline
* may be culled because their computed offset is behind the object or
* z-far plane. Second, there is an additional problem associated with
* the Z-slope. High values can make large chunks of the backdrop
* suddenly disappear. This can be reduced by the "factor" parameter.
* Making the "factor" value small, can help, but experimentally, we've
* found that it creates a new, different kind of z-fighting problem.
* So there is no perfect solution. With units, you trade off the 'holes'
* for the large-section clipping.
* Experimentally, we have found units values from 150-512 to be tolerable
* to acceptable with respect to the 'holes'. A factor of .1 seems to
* bring down the large clipping problem without creating a new z-fighting
* problem.
* (You can experiment with these numbers by playing with the
* osg:PolygonOffset multipliers which this backend tries to respect.)
*
* If ATI ever fixes their cards/drivers, then this might become the
* best option.*/

/* NO_DEPTH_BUFFER
* Instead of using glPolygonOffset to prevent z-fighting, this mode
* just disables the depth buffer when rendering the text. This allows
* the text to be rendered without any z-fighting. The downside to this
* mode is that render order begins to matter and the text will not
* necessarily correctly appear above or behind other objects in the
* scene based on depth values.
* This mode is best for text that only needs to be ontop and
* not obscured by any objects.*/
NO_DEPTH_BUFFER,
/* DEPTH_RANGE
* This mode is inspired by Paul Martz's OpenGL FAQ, item 13.050.
* This uses glDepthRange as a substitute for glPolygonOffset.
* Strangely, experiments on ATI cards seem to produce cleaner results
* than when using glPolygonOffset. The trade-off for this is that the
* backdrop still may be placed too far back and might be culled by objects
* directly behind the object or by the far z-plane. If ATI ever fixes
* the glPolygonOffset problem, polygon offset is probably a slightly
* better solution because you can use smaller offsets. But with the
* current ATI problem, this option may be preferable.*/
DEPTH_RANGE,
/* STENCIL_BUFFER
* (Assuming the backend is written correctly,) the Stencil Buffer is
* the most "correct" and reliable way of producing backdrop text.
* The stencil buffer is a multipass system that allows writing to the
* same z-values without needing to resort to offsets. This implementation
* should not have any of the problems associated with the 3 previous
* implementations. But the trade-off for this mode is that without
* hardware acceleration for the stencil buffer, rendering will be
* extremely slow. (There is also potentially more overhead for this
* algorithm so it could be slower than the other implementations.
* Benchmarking would be required to determine if the speed differences
* are significant on your particular hardware.) This mode is best for
* when quality is important and stencil buffer hardware acceleration
* is available.*/
