Description

The font-baker is very convenient, but it has limitations: among them, "too many" fonts or "too big" doesn't work as-is.

The documentation indicates it should be pretty easy to do custom font handling, but there aren't any samples showing a for-instance, as far as I can see.

Does anyone have such a sample? I would still like to use the stb_truetype functionality, but make it something 'on demand' instead of frozen at startup.
