Hi,
One technics for rendering scalable text in OpenGL is the use of signed distance fields (signed distance to the glyph outlines) that are stored in a texture. Results are not perfect but acceptable in most cases. The way to compute such distance fields in freetype-gl (http://code.google.com/p/freetype-gl/) is to generate the bitmap of the glyph at high resolution, compute the (approximated) distance field on these bitmap and then downscale it. Of course, we lost a lot of precision (and time) in the operation. My question relates to a more direct way to compute the signed distance and to know if anyone has already coded it by any chance ? Said differently, is there a quick way to compute the shortest signed distance from any point (x,y) to the glyph contours ?
