pathfinder

How cool! I remember Mozilla announced some work on improving text rendering under 3D transformations, do you think that could be integrated? https://github.com/servo/pathfinder

So cool, I was going to ask what was the relationship with something like pathfinder [1], but you already addressed it in your github README. Thanks for contributing in this space [1] https://github.com/servo/pathfinder/blob/master/README.md

Interesting question, from my understanding Pathfinder is only concerned with rendering so it doesn't completely replace FreeType: you still need some software to extract the curves path data from the font file. This can be done in rust with skribo and font-kit You can check out this issue for more info: https://github.com/servo/pathfinder/issues/143

Does anyone know how this compares to PathFinder [1] ? 1. https://github.com/servo/pathfinder

Is it easily embeddable yet? I’ve tried several times over the last years to use it instead of WebKitGTK, I’ve tried both servo-embedding-example [1] and servo-shell [2] and they were a pain to set up. I can compile servo and make it load a URL, but that’s it. [1] https://github.com/paulrouget/servo-embedding-example [2] https://github.com/glennw/servo-shell I also tried the examples in the WebRender crate, several times, and I never get any kind of text rendered, just rectangles. Due to lacking documentation I’m not sure whether I should be seeing text or not, but drawing rectangles is something I can do on my own with OpenGL or heck, even poking [64] the pixels myself! [64] I first learned about computer graphics with my Commodore 64. This is on Ubuntu with Intel integrated graphics (i7-4650U), which I guess might not be supported. Is t
