Possibly naive question, but at least in the context of using distance fields to store font glyphs, what's the cost of the analytical solution (distance field of N combined bezier curves) vs rasterize at "high enough" resolution and then perform jump flood

this is a good question since for font rendering the length of each curve will usually be only a couple of pixels long
