Non-rotating ITextSceneNode?

I've always used the IBillboardTextSceneNodeup until now, because its informational and I wanted the text always facing the camera, tonight I tried to use ITextSceneNode, assuming it wouldn't rotate like a billboard, but it does...

Is this expected behaviour?

I tried removing animators, but it still rotates, so, best way to stop it rotating (other than setting its rotation in every frame, not that I've tried that).

BillboardTextSceneNode should work like a billboard. TextSceneNode is rendering 2d text with IGUIFont::draw at the 3d position of the node. Not quite sure what it is you are seeing...

Best way to stop it rotating, or alternative static version?
