Overview

DistanceFieldFont is an extension for starling and FeathersUI to use Distance Field Fonts instead of normal Bitmap fonts.

You can read more on Distance Field Fonts here:

Siggraph 2007 - Improved Alpha-Tested Magnification for Vector Textures
LibGDX Distance Field Fonts

Currently there is no easy way to create the fonts. The program I have found is called SDFont. Do a search on Google for it. Also this currently exports the font file as a text and not XML.
