I am having a look at the new TextRenderer that's part of the new resolution independent curve rendering technology in JOGL 2.

I am impressed, it looks great and has a lot of potential.  I wonder though if it will eventually possible to have the renderer automatically set the texture size as "guessing" the correct value is proving difficult for me.  The main issue seems to be the uneven distribution of font weight and trying to resolve that.  Also, it would be great if the crispness of the text for very small fonts could somehow be improved but I suppose that would improve if the texture size was appropriately configured.

So if these issues could be addressed then this is kick-ass technology in the making and a great reason to use JOGL.  Keep up the fantastic work guys!

Cheers,
