A custom text renderer was exactly the trivial solution suggested and demonstrated to them when they claimed it was extremely hard and required a doctoral research.
- jtbayly 5y agoI know nothing about this fight, let alone having a dog in it. But I'm getting downvoted for understanding English. For my point it doesn't matter if they are in the wrong, if it was easier than they claim, if they are rude, etc. All I'm saying is that the complaint on Twitter is that they now called something "trivial" that they said wasn't simple or easy before. They clearly didn't do that.
- dmitriid 5y agoThey literally did just that. And hid behind "community member suggested it".
- jtbayly 5y agoYou should read more carefully. They said the trivial idea was a larger lookup table and Direct2D. And then they said that unfortunately the trivial idea doesn’t work. So instead they had to write their own custom text renderer, which they never imply is trivial.
