Tangential: given the lack of hinting, is it possible to achieve high quality results for small fonts, are there any examples/comparisons to actual fonts (that also can have bad quality hinting, so real comparison to well/poorly hinted fonts would be interesting)?

I’m always pleasantly surprised when I’m reminded that he and his brother made SRE and BRE. I love hearing that folks from those days are still making great things.

Are there any games that use SDF for 2D character (player, enemies, objects etc.) rendering?

> there are newer GPU-accelerated font rendering systems that use the vectors. I have not yet explored these.
