[vtkusers] Re: Re: vtkTextActors very fuzzy with CVS version

Hi Goodwin,

vtkAxesActor leverages vtkCaptionActor2D which
uses vtkTextActor as ivar, so this complicates
things somewhat.  I think we should submit
current fuzzy behaviour as a bug report, but
I'm out the door right now to deliberately
get away from computers for a few days, so
I can submit one later.
