AFAIK this doesn't support anything but ASCII. Plotting the graphs in WebGL is cool but rendering your own text is arguably an anti-pattern. Even if you think you'd only use numbers you're still likely to run into issues with dates. For example in Japan in many government documents today is 令和３年５月２４日 and not just 2021/5/24. Or if you're showing months in English you can get away with Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr/May etc... but in Japanese you'd need １月/２月/３月 etc... I can certainly imagine in 2021 people would want to use various emoji as labels.
- jasmcole 5y agoWe implemented a WebGL plot + text renderer for https://count.co https://count.co - adding support for emoji was a pain. In particular you can't use normal SDF maps as for other monochrome characters, so there has to be a per-character flag in the fragment shader to interpret the texture correctly.
