> You can reduce all these to drawing triangles. You can, people have tried this, and it sucks. The main problem is that the conversion of Bézier paths to triangles is a hard problem with lots of conditional branching. Even when you do it, there is the other problem of rendering triangles with really good antialiasing, MSAA forces a compromise between performance and quality. By contrast, piet-gpu does an exact-area calculation for antialiasing. So it's not a question of whether you can do it, but whether it works well, and approaches like piet-gpu absolutely stomp triangles.
