Modern 3D applications that need to display text across an enormous range of scales and perspectives benefit from the ability to render glyphs directly from Bézier curves in real-time. Achieving the best results in terms of both performance and appearance requires meticulous font design that leaves no room for sloppiness. This talk summarizes the rendering technology, highlights problems in existing fonts, and discusses methods for optimizing fonts so they look great and render as fast as possible.
