**Gamma Correct Blending**
FreeType assumes blending in linear space rather than gamma space.
See FreeType note for [FT_Render_Glyph](https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Render_Glyph).
For correct results you need to be using sRGB and convert to linear space in the pixel shader output.
The default imgui styles will be impacted by this change (alpha values will need tweaking).
**Test code Usage**
```cpp
#include "misc/freetype/imgui_freetype.h"

// TODO:
// - Output texture has excessive resolution (lots of vertical waste)
// - FreeType's memory allocator is not overridden.
