I found two indirect calls to the glTexEnv in the file Text.cpp:
state.applyTextureAttribute(0,getActiveFont()->getTexEnv());
In the attached fix I surrounded these calls with #ifdef's checking for OSG_GL_FIXED_FUNCTION_AVAILABLE to ensure that the above function is only called when the fixed function pipeline is available.

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.

Note from Robert Osfield, testing this submission with osgtext I found that the
text would not render correctly when different text labels were overlapping
in deth and screen space. I change _enableDepthWrites to default to true and
found the that which artifacts still occurred around the alpha blended edges
the artifacts where better than issue with occlusion of nearer pixels that was
happening with _enableDepthWrites set to false.I therefore set the
_enableDepthWrites to true as I feel it's the lesser of the two artefacts.

Text and Text3D:
1. A new line should be started after a line's last hyphen or before
its last whitespace.
2. If no suitable place to break a line is found, just start new line
after the last character that fits on the line.
3. Whitespace should be removed from the beginning of the new line
(already worked in Text, but not in Text3D).
Line wrapping looks a lot better now with no more lone periods
appearing at the beginning of lines.
Also, right-justified text is more accurate now (slashes would hang
off the end of lines before). With this new code I spotted one
instance where a hyphen stuck out too far, but in general it looks
better. Centered text was not perfect before and still isn't, but I
can't see any significant increase or decrease in quality. The casual
observer would probably never notice a problem.
Also fixed a whitespace problem in Text3D. Not all whitespace was
being removed from the beginning of lines. Now it is all being
removed in the same manner as in Text."

, interpolating through HSV space gives a rainbow color effect which
does not mimic the simple RGB color interpolation that OpenGL does.
It's overkill and causes unexpected visual artifacts. In the attached
files I've removed the conversion to HSV so that interpolation happens
in RGB space."
behind osgText::Text. I made it so the box would get drawn using
whichever BackdropImplementation was selected. However, I did not
implement STENCIL_BUFFER. In that case it defaults to drawing the
bounding box using POLYGON_OFFSET instead.
Also made it so the BOUNDINGBOX and FILLEDBOUNDINGBOX are drawn with a
settable color and margin size.
While I was at it I tightened up the values applied with DEPTH_RANGE
and POLYGON_OFFSET, not just for drawing the bounding box but also for
drawing backdrop text (these values must be coupled since the bounding
box has to be drawn deeper in Z than the backdrop text). The values
in use before seemed like overkill and I was seeing some z-clipping
with my background scenery in the case of DEPTH_RANGE. If there was a
good reason for the large values please let me know...."
set.
The optimization is based on the observation that matrix matrix multiplication
with a dense matrix 4x4 is 4^3 Operations whereas multiplication with a
transform, or scale matrix is only 4^2 operations. Which is a gain of a
*FACTOR*4* for these special cases.
The change implements these special cases, provides a unit test for these
implementation and converts uses of the expensiver dense matrix matrix
routine with the specialized versions.
Depending on the transform nodes in the scenegraph this change gives a
noticable improovement.
For example the osgforest code using the MatrixTransform is about 20% slower
than the same codepath using the PositionAttitudeTransform instead of the
MatrixTransform with this patch applied.
If I remember right, the sse type optimizations did *not* provide a factor 4
improovement. Also these changes are totally independent of any cpu or
instruction set architecture. So I would prefer to have this current kind of
change instead of some hand coded and cpu dependent assembly stuff. If we
need that hand tuned stuff, these can go on top of this changes which must
provide than hand optimized additional variants for the specialized versions
to give a even better result in the end.
An other change included here is a change to rotation matrix from quaterion
code. There is a sqrt call which couold be optimized away. Since we divide in
effect by sqrt(length)*sqrt(length) which is just length ...

attached code adds this, along with a member variable to keep track of
the setting. It is based on the latest subversion version, and was
tested by creating a new text object with the same axis alignment as an
existing one (e.g.
new_text->setAxisAlignment(old_text->getAxisAlignment()); )."
From Robert Osfield, " I originally didn't add a getAxisAlignment()
as all setAxisAlignment does is set the Rotation member variable, and
potentially one could apply user defined Rotation setting after the
setAxisAlignment() which would bring it out of sync with the
setAxisAlignment.
Rather than reject your submission on the ground of potentially
getting out of sync and therefore misleading users I've added a
USED_DEFINED_ROTATION to AxisAlignment enum, and set this in the
serRotation and then override this setting of _axisAlignment in the
setAxisAlingment method. I've also removed the lazy updating
optimization you've added to the top of setAxisAlignment to avoid
potential problems as well."
on the screen, it looks more aesthetically pleasing to have a larger
gap between lines than is given by default. I added a new parameter,
lineSpacing, in the Text class to allow the line spacing to be adjustable
by the application. The default value is 0 meaning there is no extra
spacing given. The value should be given as a percentage of the character
height. A good value for longer paragraphs is 0.25 (25%) or more."
