What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A C++ utility and library that generates multi-channel signed distance field (MSDF) font atlases from TTF/OTF fonts, packing glyphs into compact atlas bitmaps with layout metadata. Atlases can be exported as Artery Font files, images, CSV, or JSON for use in real-time text rendering.
Use cases
- generate font atlas for game text rendering
- create MSDF signed distance field glyphs from TTF
- export font atlas as JSON or Artery Font
- render scalable crisp text in OpenGL or game engine
- pack glyph bitmaps into texture atlas
- generate SDF font textures for UI
When to choose
- you need high-quality scalable text rendering in a game or real-time graphics application
- you want sharp corners preserved and glyph effects like outlines and glows
- you need a library or CLI that outputs multiple atlas formats
When to avoid
- you only need simple bitmap font rendering without scaling
- you need a GUI tool or runtime font rasterization rather than offline atlas generation
- your project cannot use C++ or vcpkg-based builds
