MSDF looks better than Slug for me in the first example.

But slug wins in perspective in my eyes.

I use MSDF to render crisp text in my webgl hobby game. Hope to publish it with source code when I get the time.

thanks for sharing the article. I'll take a deeper look at it later.

I do MSDF as well and since I'm not doing a huge-ass text editor (and even then) it works and it's great. One thing to consider is that with any solution that does things directly from vector outlines means you also then have to distribute proper font outlines and you might not have a license to do that. With MSDF and similar atlas-like solutions, you pre-render a font and distribute that rendered image instead of an actual font.

		Which you also might not have the license to do. I once licensed a Monotype typeface that prohibited its use in anything editable, including fillable PDF forms.
