Text rendering #36

@FabianWildgrube

Description

@FabianWildgrube

We need to add support for rendering arbitrary text (labels, street names, etc.). An ideal solution would have the following properties:

  • Supports all languages (obvious -> we show a map of the entire world)
  • Renders completely on the GPU as part of the map (otherwise we defeat the purpose of this project: truly cross-platform maps)
  • Renders nicely at arbitrary font sizes
  • Renders correctly with regards to arbitrary 3-d transformations
  • Supports styling (i.e. color, different fonts, etc.)

This poses numerous challenges and likely no solution exists that fulfils all of these criteria. But since this is a clean-slate project we might as well try 🤷 😉
