I noticed that 2.0.2 had been released, I had been using 2.0.2.rc12 from the Maven repos. Doesn't seem to be any difference, still no visible text and no different errors apart from this old one:

ShaderState: attachShaderProgram: -1 -> 2 (enable: false)
        null
        ShaderProgram[id=2, linked=false, inUse=false, program: 25,
   ShaderCode[id=3, type=VERTEX_SHADER, valid=false, shader:  0, source]
   ShaderCode[id=4, type=FRAGMENT_SHADER, valid=false, shader:  0, source]]

But as renderer.getShaderState().linked() returns true when rendering I assume that the shader has been loaded and linked after that error. My current guess is that there's something wrong with the initialization:

        RenderState renderState = RenderState.createRenderState( new ShaderState(), SVertex.factory() );
        renderState.getShaderState().setVerbose( true );
        renderer = TextRenderer.create( renderState, 0 );
        renderer.init( gl );
        renderer.setAlpha( gl, color.alpha );
        renderer.setColorStatic( gl, color.red, color.green, color.blue );

I have no idea what a SVertex does and can't find it in the API docs at http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-next/javadoc/jogl/javadoc/ which has me believe those docs aren't up to date right now.

Yup, back to lurk mode for this topic, this was just a quick test with the newest version.
