Differences in the MSDF generation results...

[hexland]

I've encountered some differences in the generation of MSDF bitmaps between this Typography library, and the original C++ MSDFGen implementation from which it is adapted.

With certain fonts (hand made ones, using FontForge) - certain glyphs are producing different MSDF maps - but it is only certain glyphs... the majority appear to be OK.

For example...

LayoutFarm - MSDFGen -

Look pretty much equivalent (apart from the page size, but that's fine)

However, the same code generating glyph:

LayoutFarm - MSDFGen -

Any idea what could be going on?

Are the (A) and (B) generated from the same version of Typography Lib?

LayoutFarm - MSDFGen -

(A)

LayoutFarm - MSDFGen -

(B)

It is about how to set color component order RGBA VS BGRA
(Windows Gdi+ color and OpenGL color compo)

please send the font ( shardailes.zip) to my email again.
I can't download from that link.

Sent. Thank you for looking at it.

Yes, the A & B are both generated from the same Typo lib.

I generate a batch of characters (32-254) using the Typo lib - most of which come out almost identical (as far as the eye can tell) to MSDFGen -- but there are some odd ones (in this case, A + X) that are completely different.

I also have issues with some punctuation, and odd artifacts in some glyphs...

As far as I can tell, stock windows fonts are fine -- this just may be something to do with the way in which we author our fonts for processing.

Thank you
