+       * src/sdf/ftsdfrend.c (sdf_generate_bounding_box): Due to
+         the way we use the bounding box, we need to keep a track
+         of signed distances of each pixel so later the sign can
+         be determined properly. The method is certainly faster
+         then checking all the pixels agains all the edges,
+         but also require a decent amount of memory to work.
