Have a look at...

   F4/Services/Text/Src/font_factory.cpp: createTextureFont()

It's brute force, but it runs fairly quickly and produces great
results (as you can see).

To summarize:

- I use two textures, one for the glyphs and one for a mask, which
   indicates what parts of the texture have already been used.

- I sort the glyphs from largest to smallest.

- I try to keep the used space as close to a square as possible

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
