> Usually, font renderers are Turing complete in some way, and usually this opens up security concerns, and rightfully so... Most of the features of which I am aware in fonts are modeled as FSMs, which can certainly be turing complete but do not need to be. Off the top of my head you could figure out a “sane” max time for a “script” to run without any loss of font quality, though it would not technically comply with the intended functionality. I am at a loss of words for why this was ever possible, although perhaps security didn’t matter until this past decade and I am too young to remember how low priority it used to be.... certainly, putting anything in kernel space for performance reasons of all things seems ridiculous for desktop computing. I’ll take a fucking massive performance hit to keep my data safer.
