3 years ago Thank you for sharing your issue, and apologies for not responding to this sooner. (For some reason I did not receive a notification.) I read the blog post you link to. – Unfortunately I can’t see this as something I will work to implement in this library in the forseeable future. Good luck with finding a solution!
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Windows' ClearType makes bitmap fonts look like shit in browser when using vector rendering

Describe alternatives you've considered Build strikes using (closed source) Fony: http://hukka.ncn.fi/?fony Using bits'n'picas to vectorize strikes: https://github.com/kreativekorp/bitsnpicas Manual tuning with FontForge: 😭 Dying alone: ⚰️
