MSDF

Hi, does SDL use multi-channel signed distance functions for its SDF handling?
See:

No, we use the SDF support built into FreeType, however we'll accept a well written PR that adds MSDF support.

Out of interest would you guys see it as an extra option or a replacement for the default method?

[slouken]

It would be an extra option. SDF just uses the alpha channel, while MSDF uses the full set of RGBA channels, so it's a different data format and requires different shaders by the application.
