Multi-channel SDF font rendering & basic text layout for WebGL. This is a support package for @thi.ng/webgl.
This package provides multi-channel SDF font rendering capabilities for @thi.ng/webgl, incl. optional support for basic text alignment, vertex colors (e.g. for multi-color text), and shader options to draw outlines for each character. Furthermore, the key GLSL functions are provided as shader snippets to embed this functionality in custom shaders without having to resort to copy & paste.
There're different versions of MSDF font generators. The format supported by this module is based on Don McCurdy's.
