I pray you’ll never need to display blocks of text, or do anything with text input. Font rendering and text editing are no joke, and browsers do it well with HTML + CSS.
Latency might be the biggest downside for your specific use case, but I’d urge anyone tempted to roll their own browser renderer to properly consider text-related concerns first.
- bob1029 6y agoI currently use System.Drawing to produce text segments. I am not attempting to replace HTML/CSS or pass the Acid3 test. I am just going for something that would be sufficient for purposes of building highly-responsive internal business dashboards and other utilitarian applications where predictable and fast layout is more important than arbitrary style support.
