Loop-Blinn TTF rendering

This demo uses the technique from Loop and Blinn's SIGGRAPH 2005 paper. Drag mouse to pan, mouse-wheel to zoom in and out.

Note that Lux's infrastructure allows per-pixel control of font appearance. Although in this example that capability is admittedly squandered with an ugly checkerboard effect, the feature is potentially useful in "semantic level-of-detail" techniques, where important parts of an underlying image might dynamically determine the desired transparency level of portions of font glyphs.
