Google "loop blinn". There are a few papers by those guys on the topic of rendering smooth anti aliased cubic bezier paths, which is really what you want.

You can read font data directly from ttf e.g. And render text nicely with few polygons and shaders taking care of very nice accurate edge rendering.

I wrote a half finished c implementation a couple of years ago that might be useful as a reference if you want to look into this more : https://github.com/hansent/lbfont

It's mainly based on the paper/article inter book GPU gems 3.

Accelerated 2D Vector graphics are hard, when I was working on this nvidia was announcing the nv_path_rendering extension; don't know how widely this is supported these days. But I doubt it's available in webgl.
