That sounds like the most ambitious POC Projekt ever. I hope you will be able to finish it.
The MSDF setting is a great find! I'm playing around with UI on mobile and combining the content scale factor with that setting for crisp fonts is super useful for that, thank you very much for publishing this. Your project is a great way to explore Godot's capabilities regarding (non-game) UI and find out where the painful shortcomings lie.
It's worth reading the Using Fonts section in the official docs if you want to make text as nice as possible, it has so much info. The thing is, some settings might be better than others depending on the font.
But in general I found these my favorite settings:
MSDF on (pretty much needed if you change the scale on runtime)
Normal hinting (AKA full hinting): Makes text aggressively sharper when the text is small. Looks a bit aliased but it's so much easier to read imo
Mipmaps off. It clashes with full hinting and makes text slightly blurry.
Everything else should stay at default.
will you make Godot run in it?
