Skribidi

Here's a simple Slug rendering example on top of sokol_gfx.h: via WebGPU backend: https://floooh.github.io/sokol-webgpu/slug-sapp.html via WebGL2 backend: https://floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/slug-sapp.html There's quite a bit of helper code plus stb_truetype.h and stb_ds.h under the hood to parse TTF files and crunch the TTF curve data into the runtime format expected by the Slug shader (this stuff should better go into an offline asset pipeline tool): https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/master/libs/slu... ...the actual text rendering code is also taking a couple of shortcuts, e.g. no kerning, no right-to-left, and also no text shaping. There's also a new and complete text rendering stack by Mikko Mononen called Skribidi (AFAIK not based on Slug though): https://github.com/memononen/Skribidi ...the list of external dependencies

> well-established software like harfbuzz Harfbuzz is only one piece of the puzzle, it's not a text renderer, only a 'text shaper' (e.g. translating a sequence of UNICODE codepoints into a sequence of glyphs). The actual font handling and text rendering still needs to be done by some other code (e.g. the readme in Mikko Mononen's Skribidi project gives a good overview about what's needed besides the actual rendering engine: https://github.com/memononen/Skribidi/)
