That was my first thought. This is brilliant, but the FS is way overworked, making this less practical and going back to the original solution (because it's fast). It's a trade off between speed and variability, which for games (and most apps) speed trump variability (especially because of consistent design). But given generating a texture atlas is a "1 time task"; and recompiling the curves in the GPU is per frame in the paper, the next best thing I guess is off loading the glyph atlas generator to the GPU, not CPU, since the GPU maybe faster. It's really awesome research!
