Why not prepare SDFs on-demand, as the text comes in? Realistically, even for CJK fonts you only need a couple thousand characters. Ditto for languages with complex characters.

Generating SDFs is really slow, especially if you can't use the GPU to do it, and if you use a faster algorithm it tends to produce fields with glitches in them
Because it's slow.
