Do projects like Pathfinder fit into this stack anywhere? At a guess you could replace Freetype with it, but I guess it does more?

- Jasper_ 7y agoPathfinder replaces FreeType. It doesn't do more, and shouldn't: it's focused on glyph (and image) rendering.
- daww 7y agoInteresting question, from my understanding Pathfinder is only concerned with rendering so it doesn't completely replace FreeType: you still need some software to extract the curves path data from the font file. This can be done in rust with skribo and font-kit You can check out this issue for more info: https://github.com/servo/pathfinder/issues/143 https://github.com/servo/pathfinder/issues/143
