Patrick Walton 11913a20f1 Merge MCAA monochrome and multicolor shaders.
Not only is this a lot simpler, it's faster too!

Patrick Walton ddd1c89294 Use one side for the X position in the multicolor MCAA vertex shader to avoid cracks 2017-12-19 10:54:30 -08:00
Patrick Walton cfe72f486e Use a single-pass pixel-snapping MCAA algorithm instead of a multipass
ECAA algorithm for multicolor SVG.

This is much faster than both Skia and the previous XCAA algorithm
while maintaining slightly higher quality than the latter.

There are a couple of known issues:

* Vertical inflection points of hairlines with very steep slopes can
  become very light or even drop out occasionally. I suspect this is due
  to floating point error.

* Rarely, single columns of pixels can disappear from a mesh. Cause TBD.

Besides these bugs, this technique can be cleaned up and probably made
faster, but it's a sizable improvement as is.

Tristan Hume dd934211af Fixes #51 by introducing a variable for an early return boolean.
This works around a bug in the macOS Nvidia shader compiler
in 2014 rMBPs.

Patrick Walton 9d93cebca6 Stop using multiple render targets.
We don't need them anymore, so let's lower our hardware requirements!

Patrick Walton 048c261f6c Add a working experimental implementation of XCAA for SVG.
This has known performance problems and artefacts due to working at
sample level only, but it's a decent first cut.

Patrick Walton 314185684c Implement stem darkening and split ECAA into ECAA and MCAA.
We now implement stem darkening (also known as font dilation) like
macOS and FreeType under certain configurations. This pushes out font
outlines along their normals slightly in order to make small text easier
to read. This is especially important when performing gamma correction,
as otherwise text can end up too light.

Because the stem darkening is implemented in the vertex shader, it can
easily break the mesh. Therefore, I needed to implement a new rendering
mode that does not use the mesh. It's a variant of ECAA, and for
clarity's sake I've renamed the related antialiasing methods:

* MCAA stands for "mesh coverage antialiasing" and is the new name for
what was called "ECAA" prior to this patch.

* ECAA now stands for "edge coverage antialiasing". It does not use the
mesh but rather computes winding numbers from scratch for every pixel.
Surprisingly, despite being worse asymptotically, this usually ends up
being faster than MCAA at small font sizes, presumably because there are
fewer vertices to transform.

* XCAA, "exact coverage antialiasing" is a generic term that refers to
both ECAA and MCAA. References to ECAA have been changed to XCAA as
needed.

Patrick Walton 2a236319d4 Use regular VBOs instead of textures to store vertex positions for ECAA.
This improves performance at small font sizes a bit by reducing vertex
shading load.
