[vtkusers] old code and vtkTextActor::SetMapper

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

What type of mapper are you trying it set? If it is
vtkPolyDataMapper2D, then simply do this:

textactor->SetMapper(vtkPolyDataMapper2D::SafeDownCast(mapper));

As you can see from:http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkTextActor.html
vtkTextActor::SetMapper(vtkPolyDataMapper2D*) is public API.
