Using splines would look nicer. The main reason we're using straight segments is because it's simpler. The underlying lines are made up of straight segments, and it's simpler to move a position along a straight line (a point and vector) than to interpolate a spline in the shader. Adding complexity might be a performance concern. It would be great to try using splines at some point!
Complex text is complex. A bunch of characters may be resolved into a single joined visual glyph, but it is probably made up of smaller, overlapping glyphs from the font. Each of these individual glyphs would slide along the line separately. This results in defects of course
The challenge is finding the right balance of doing things right and performance/implementation effort.
