Hey guys,

Any of you started tackling signed distance field rendering using irrlicht?

I am building scalable UI so this would be the next logical step :D

Was not aware of TTF support in Irrlicht.

How about text effects? Outline, drop shadow, etc...?

It's not in irr main. Any effects aren't usually included.
