[PD] Re: [GEM-dev] text2d expensive?

[chris clepper]

Yes, [text2d] uses a very inefficient OpenGL call (glDrawPixels if you 
are curious), which Jamie and I discovered the other night.  It is 
highly recommended to use [text3d] for all text functions.

The 'FSAA $1' message will turn on anti-aliasing and make the text 
nicer looking - try a value of 4.
