Hello Jean-Pierre,
> Could you tell us more about this command-line tool?
the tool uses the MSDF-library by Viktor Chlumsky, adds a rectangle bin 
packing algorithm (max rectangles global) to pack the texture atlas and 
outputs in the format that is used by KiCad currently. Given that, for 
full support (Better character placement, maybe even kerning?) I would 
like to cooperate with Orson to make the necessary changes to the 
current OpenGL string code.
I uploaded the Visual Studio project for the tool under MIT-License (the 
library by Viktor Chlumsky uses that license) to 
https://github.com/decimad/msdf-atlasgen .

Cheers!
Michael
