True Type Font Support

[joevenzon]

If you're interested in digging into VDrift fonts:

The font rendering in VDrift is pretty nifty, it uses a distance field (if you have shaders enabled) which, using only a small bitmap, provides exceptionally high quality (with antialiasing) even when the lettering is huge... and hardly uses any resources. It's an application of this:

to fonts.

The font generator I use to create the distance fields is this one:

You can fiddle with adding/changing fonts; the program outputs .png and .txt files and those can be copied over the ones in VDrift/data/skins/simple/fonts if you want to see them in-game.
