  MSDF font atlas generator

There are tools for making sdf textures like this(msdf-atlas-gen). It has a windows executable to generate the textures.

Thanks. Yes, I was looking at this. The problem is that the texture atlases are in a different format than the ones I currently use. The MSDF versions don't have all of the ASCII characters and some characters have a different number of pixels. So it's not a drop in replacement for my system, which is using texture atlases like this: https://github.com/fegennari/3DWorld/blob/master/textures/atlas/text_atlas.png

Is that part of msdfgen? I don't see it. I did find this project: https://github.com/nyyManni/msdfgl
