Demoscene is dead, long live Demoscene! It looks a very good (but complex) solution. I think for the propose of Orson, he has a well defined / controlled use of the size of the displayed fonts, his simpler solution should work.
I didnt tested it yet :/ any more screenshots?

The question is whether I should spend more time on the subject, or is the current solution good enough? I proposed the bitmap fonts because it was as an easy to implement performance boost, but eight now I would rather move on and work on other problems.
