This is known as a “multi-channel signed distance field”, or “msdf”.

- scotty79 4y agoDo you know any text editor that uses it for font rendering?
- fxtentacle 4y agoYou would have to use that if you want smooth antialiased zooming in and out of text. BTW, the KiCad schematics are pretty text-heavy. You typically write down all the parameters and IDs of all the electrical components.
- rikarendsmp 4y agoI used to use it, but its extremely font and glyph-sensitive wether or not it works. And if it doesn't work there is no easy fix (or ability to recognise it nonvisually)
