Thanks James. The patch looks good. Interestingly it could also be useful for very low-spec system to use this with a value of 0 and bilinear filtering filtered (will give it a try).

We currently have mouse cursor bitmap (see RenderCustomTexData) that are manually packed with 1 pixel spacing, would that be a problem? I think this part will be replaced down the line as we support submitting user data/icons to the packer, and probably the cursors will be packed normally them.

For our particular use case we only modify the font glyphs and leave the cursors alone, so the manual packing there isn't a problem. Given how the cursors are currently implemented, I imagine adjusting those to use a configurable padding amount would probably be a bit more awkward!

By the way could you clarify the your use with 2+ spacing? Is it related to mip-mapping, or are you altering the rasterized data, e.g. adding an outline to it?

Yeah, we're altering the rasterized data to add an outline*. It's admittedly a little bit of a hack, but it does mean we don't have to maintain our own font rasterizer as mentioned earlier. If text outlining were available in ImGui that would be neat, though from #745 it's understandable why it isn't. :)

*We want an outline because we want our window backgrounds to be fairly translucent, to avoid obscuring the scene underneath (i.e. using some windows as overlays to display data, with only a few interactive widgets). Depending on what's in the scene, this can make text of a single colour hard to read, so an outline is desirable.

Merged.

@jadwallis: Your approach will actually break once I add more data into the texture atlas (e.g. rounded shapes), as you won't be able to distinguish easily font vs other graphic data. So you may need to consider another approach. If that happen pretty soon I'd probably remove TexGlyphPadding then.

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully the current approach will tide us over for the moment at least, and I can consider alternative, less hacky implementations later when I have a bit more time.

Cheers for your help. :)
