Description

Sorry to keep spamming your inboxes. 😄

I've noticed some artifacts during rendering with the fontnik bitmaps that don't appear with SDFs generated by Hiero. Here is a side-by-side:

I'm guessing the artifacts while rendering may be due to the SDF tiles getting cut off.

Is there some implementation detail that I'm missing?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the rendering artifacts shown in the side-by-side comparison, then inspect fontnik's bitmap and SDF generation path for where glyph tiles may be clipped. Compare its output with SDFs generated by Hiero. Done means the bitmap-rendering artifacts no longer appear and the generated glyphs are not cut off.
