About SDF sprites

[zmatez]

How exactly should SDF files be served?
I made a sdf_sprites dir only for those, and in config:

  sources:
      sprites: data/sprites
      sdf_sprites:
          path: data/sdf_sprites
          sdf: true

(found it here on github)
But sdf_sprites are empty, tried with PNG and .SDF (renamed from png) files.
Docs don't say anything about serving those, I assume those images should be discovered somewhat automatically?

Okay.. So this is akward. You are reading the documentation for version 0.15, but are likely running version 0.14
To get sdf support, you will need to run the nightly release (the :main tag for docker or compile for your architecture from src)

See

• Releasing v0.15.0 #1632, we are currently finishing up releasing 0.15.

We have decided against the fixed configuration (sdf: true) and instead switched to the approach documented here:
