[vtk-developers] dancing fonts

[David Gobbi]

Hi Sebastien,

I'm using the new FreeType text mapper for coordinate labels etc.,
but I have a small problem because label 'dances around' by about
a pixel width whenever the numbers change, even though I use
a fixed-width font.  The problem goes away if I set the Justification
to Bottom/Left but persists if I use Centered or Top or Right.

If the justification is handled by the FreeType libraries themselves
then it is best to leave things as they are.  But if the justification
is handled inside VTK, is there an easy way to fix this so that
Centered justification doesn't cause dynamic labels to dance around?
