Fontdue: The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust
SMRTR summary
Fontdue is a pure Rust font rasterizer and layout tool supporting TrueType and OpenType formats, built without the standard library for maximum portability. It targets the lowest end-to-end rasterization latency available, positioning itself as a modern replacement for rusttype, ab_glyph, and glyph_brush. Fonts are fully parsed on load and stored in optimized structures with no lifetime dependencies.
