yes! this is some text rendering work for a project of mine that's been sitting on the back burner for a long while now. I'm using MSDFs here, though currently I'm building the atlases myself rather than using msdf-atlas-gen. I pull the glyphs from the font files using freetype2 iirc, and I'm using harfbuzz for full, "correct" text layout (notice the fi, fl, and ff ligatures in >>81). the artifacts in >>2403 and similar are from me seeing how low I can take the resolution lol
it's gone untouched for some time while I work on other stuff, but I still have a lot of ideas for and interest in the project, so hopefully I can pick it up again soon. I have a tendency to slow to a halt when facing technical design decisions that don't have a clear "best" answer, only various trade-offs. hard to make all those big decisions up front when you know it might be hard to change later - but I'm trying to work on escaping that mind trap :)
