[Papervision3D] Writing 3D biological sequencer

[Andy Zupko]

It looks like you need to turn on precise on the material - it gets  
very jagged when you turn it due to perspective distortion.  Lower the  
face count to 1 (2 total) per side and turn on precision.

I did a blog post a while back on getting better looking text: http://blog.zupko.info/?p=117

you could try vectorvision, but given the amt of text you are using,  
it probably would be too slow.
