There is no backward compatible profile available for your hardware. Therefore, you cannot benefit of OpenGL 3 and use GL2 at the same time :s Use the new shader based text renderer, wait for the fix of the bug 810 affecting the legacy renderer or use GL2.

You can use a 3D engine providing its own text rendering but a few supports forward compatible profiles. Even JMonkeyEngine 3 still uses a very few features of the fixed pipeline.
