Just set Image Width & Height to the dimensions you wish to display
the text in, set the Glyph Size to the character size and connect
Display Witdh to the Width input of the Billboard:
Thanks for your suggestions. I'm still finding that the glyph size
is a magic number, and I don't seem to have a way to specify "fit in
rectangle" without getting the non-smooth text. Take for instance
the attached sample... I have a simple subpatch with an
ImageWithString --> Billboard rendering into a Render In Image of 512
x 70 pixels. If I hook up Display Width to the billboard's Width,
the text ends up not scaling to the right size to fit that 512x70
box, but depending only on the Glyph size -- the arbitrary text is
never the right size (whatever will fit in the 512x70 box).
If I disconnect the display width and set the subpatch's width to
"2", then at least it is the entire 512 pixels across, though then I
have the problem with the badly antialiased text. Do you see the
problem?
