Convert cubics to quadratics

[behdad]

This is great work. Congratulations!

For cubic-to-quadratic conversion I suggest you lift the cu2qu algorithm. I have described it here:

Thanks for the link and the feedback!

I took a quick read and it looks like something that could be quite easily implemented in msdfgl. I'll take a closer look when I reach my next free'ish timeslot.

For your use-case you don't need the last step:

  - After choosing corners, position the on-curve points to lie in the middle
of the neighboring corners.  Ie, don't encode them in the glyf encoding.

Is it an appropriate time to ask about this again? 😄
