WIP - school started so less updates from now on :((

Multi-channel signed distance field (MSDF) generator for fonts implemented in pure Rust.

This crate will soon become a public library. Later MSDF and MTSDF will be implemented.

This project wouldn't exist without Chlumsky's msdfgen and other Rust libraries which implement his algorithm.

TODO 📝

• Add a tool for creating custom shapes
• Fix: Simple Overlapping Contours Correction - WIP
• Add a proper example - WIP
• Improve Overlapping Contours Correction to perfection
• Add a function for checking intersections for quadratic and cubic functions
• Add support for Cubic Bézier Curves
• Implement MSDF generation for fonts
• Implement MTSDF generation for fonts
• Add more showcase items
• rest of the TODOs is in code...
• Better organization of code
• Construct a completely user-friendly library
