- olalonde 16y agoYou are right in the sense that there is no formal definition for what makes an algorithm fundamental (AFAIK - I am no expert on the matter). However, the general consensus seems to be that since a large number of problems make use of or can be reduced to a sorting problem, it is more fundamental than font rendering which solves exactly one problem. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if font rendering algorithms use sorting in some way.
