It’s really great work. The font support is a bit behind the times though, and text shaping is non-existent. I see so many libraries fall at that hurdle, they think they can do it themselves then when they realise it’s hard and requires a team of people they either abandon it or tell you to use harfbuzz without the necessary integration points. Hopefully that won’t be the case here!
- sanxiyn 5y agoRust managed to get text shaping (https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz), you can certainly do it yourself but it's just a lot of work...

- treeform 5y agoI agree shaping is hard. But so is a lot of other things we have done. We will just take it one setup at a time. I am sure with time we will conquer shaping as well.
- RattleyCooper 5y agoI don't think treeform and guzba will have much trouble, honestly.
