vcText2DSet

A geometry set used for generating 2D text. Unlike 3D text, 2D text is rendered directly on screen by converting a position vector to screen coordinates. Furthermore, 2D text supports an inherited Billboard property, thereby text can always face camera and be right-side up in 3D world.
