Mysterious invisibility of Text module output

[Terry Payman]

Yes indeed, de-selecting DirectX 9 fixes the problem. Many thanks Eric.

I did have Spout installed, but was unaware of the setting options.

Ok that's probably good enough for now. The problem is otherwise proving very difficult to track down.

- AVFFGLDropShadow seems to give a perfect constant-thickness curve around edges that I haven't been able to emulate.
- FFGLEdgeDetection has a lovely quality on live video.

I'd urge you (and others) to work on finding alternative solutions for 32-bit plugins. It is seeming more and more likely that Magic v3.0 will be 64-bit only.

More than good enough for me. Those bugs have been bugging me for ages. I'm delighted that a simple Spout setting will avoid them. Thanks again Eric!

Fair enough. The prospect of a Magic so awesome that it needs 64-bits is quite sufficient incentive.
