Does something like Signed Distance Fields help or is it just be an added value and not a complete different way of doing it?

- ahartmetz 3y agoQML uses it, but it doesn't look as good as FreeType with LCD subpixel rendering and light hinting... if that is what you like (it is what I like).
- pcwalton 3y agoOnly for certain fonts at certain sizes, and only if you have the SDF generated ahead of time, both of which mean that the technique isn't general enough to render arbitrary fonts in .otf format. Rasterizing small glyphs is super fast anyway, there's not much of a need to accelerate it if you can just cache the glyph bitmaps.
