I'm actually a little surprised that the answer wasn't something along the lines of "# is simple straight lines, while B requires a bunch of Bezier splines for TrueType to render." I guess the graphics cards must accelerate that or something. I'm surprised that line-breaking algorithms take that long.
- agumonkey 13y agoAbout that, I wonder how common are path rendering extensions used ( like NV_PATH http://zrusin.blogspot.fr/2011/09/nv-path-rendering.html http://zrusin.blogspot.fr/2011/09/nv-path-rendering.html ). I'd be sad to hear that my cpu is wasting time on font rendering in 2014.
