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 🤷 😉
