Methods for font rendering

• msdfgen

  27 3,713 7.0 C++

  Multi-channel signed distance field generator

This is the state of the art afaik.

• msdfgl

  3 241 0.0 C

  OpenGL implementation of the MSDF algorithm

Just found this as well which could help if you really need to robustly generate atlases dynamically at runtime.

  Single-header C library for generating vertices for rendering text

This is the method I use: I made my own single header font rendering library. It uses bitmap rendering so it's more basic than signed distance fields but it works for all of my needs. it's also super easy to use. it hands you a vertex array object along with a font texture that you bind and draw with whatever graphics API you are using. https://github.com/kevinmkchin/TrueTypeAssembler it's public domain so feel free to study it or use it
