Converts a `.ttf` font file into multichannel signed distance fields, then outputs packed spritesheets and a json representation of an AngelCode BMfont.

Signed distance fields are a method of reproducing vector shapes from a texture representation, popularized in [this paper by Valve](http://www.valvesoftware.com/publications/2007/SIGGRAPH2007_AlphaTestedMagnification.pdf).

This tool uses [Chlumsky/msdfgen](https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdfgen) to generate multichannel signed distance fields to preserve corners. The distance fields are created from vector fonts, then rendered into texture pages. A BMFont object is provided for character layout.
