Taetype – a complete font engine for Rust and WASM
SMRTR summary
taetype is a Rust/WebAssembly font engine extracted from taepdf that handles decoding, instancing, subsetting, and shaping of TTF, OTF, TTC, and WOFF2 fonts , with zero browser API dependencies. It includes its own Brotli decompression, full OpenType variable font support, and HarfBuzz-level shaping via rustybuzz, making it suitable for in-browser PDF generation, web font optimization, and server-side image rendering without external tooling.
