[vtkusers] vtkTextActor coming out really fuzzy when linking with VTK CVS build!

Hi,

Using the CVS version of VTK, my vtkTextActors are rendered very
fuzzy. The same code compiled with VTK 5.0 renders them crisply. Here
are two links to show the difference:

with v5.0:

with CVS:

Any idea why this is happening? Here is all my code:

vtkTextActor *TextActor = vtkTextActor::New();
TextActor->ScaledTextOff();
TextActor->SetDisplayPosition(5,5);
TextActor->SetInput("Hello there.");

vtkTextProperty *pTextProperty = TextActor->GetTextProperty();
pTextProperty->SetFontSize(14);
pTextProperty->SetColor(1,1,1);
pTextProperty->BoldOn();
pTextProperty->ShadowOn();
pTextProperty->SetFontFamily(VTK_ARIAL);

Thanks,
Mark
