I dropped support for textured glyphs from device fonts.
Rationale is that we don't use textured glyphs for embedded fonts either,
which is when the OGL text quality "regression" came out: as you say,
ogl rendering of shapes is not antialiased, so textured glyphs did a better job.


Now, a shape_character_def to texture_glyph *should* be available as a method
somewhere in that horrible fontlib.cpp file. That's what used to work before I 
dropped it
(needed to drop to allow playing while loading and not finding a way to cleanup 
that pile
of excellent code...

So, if anyone handles to cleanup that code, a generic shape_character_def to 
texture_glyph
might be used by OGL to get nice text back, or we can just drop textured glyphs 
as a whole and
focus on fixing OGL.

BTW, the current vectorial device font doesn't seem to work at all with OGL, 
left/right fill
problem most likely as I saw a similar thing with drawing api.
