Hello Werner, Alexei, Apologies for not replying earlier.
We have already discussed 8 Bit SDF earlier and I agree that 8 Bits is enough for producing acceptable interpolation for rendering. Here is the mail for your reference: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2020-12/msg00042.html Back then I was waiting for others opinion and did not add this to the renderers however, if everyone agrees now I'll prepare a patch to remove 16 Bit support and only allow 8 Bit SDF. It will conserve memory and also eliminate the endiness issue that you mentioned earlier. Thanks, Anuj
