There's also rusttype [1] that was written as an alternative to FreeType in Rust, I know it's being used at this point in Redox [2], which is an interesting project of a Unix-like operating system being written entirely in Rust to the best of my knowledge. I'm curious to see how the two compare at this time.

- raphlinus 10y agoI did some measurements of rusttype and found it to be even slower than FreeType. That said, this is all open source and so I have confidence that the improvements will flow all the way, either through rusttype using the font-rs rasterizer, or font-rs becoming robust enough for downstream like Redox and Piston to adopt.
