IBillboardText undesired differences compared to drawText()

[Clash]

Hello guys!
Today I tried to remove all my drawText() calls and start using IBillboardTextSceneNode.
The results were almost as desired, the only thing annoying me is the difference in the text strenght/brightness. I think it's clear enough on the image below.

Left is drawText(), right is using the billboard text.
Any idea on how to fix it? By the way, I'm on irrlicht 1.5, openGL
Thanks a lot!

Code: Select all

core::dimension2d<irr::f32> dimensions;
    dimensions.Width = CCore::font->getDimension(L"Clash").Width;
    dimensions.Height = CCore::font->getDimension(L"Clash").Height;
IBillboardTextSceneNode *test=CCore::smgr->addBillboardTextSceneNode(CCore::font, L"Clash", 0, dimensions);
    test->setPosition(vector3df(500, -200, 0));

Turn off the bilinear filtering maybe?

Nice one hybrid! It's almost there... any idea on what else could be done?

Left one drawText(), right one scene node with bilinear filter disabled
Seems like the letters are getting compressed a bit, though the overall width is correct
