Makes sense. It's crap that we have to deal with this, but deal with it we shall.
that's the kind of stuff that made me move away from C/C++
It's still in Alpha, but at some point it might be interesting to take a look at ImageSharp library which is an image processing library that includes font rendering, 100% c#
Looking at the SharpFont docs there is a problem with the way it interfaces with free type.
After a ton of testing I found that we cannot use the same assembly for Windows as we do for Mac\Linux in a 64 bit environment. Because of the above issues. So we end up with crashes in the Pipeline tool on Mac because
mono
is now defaulting to a 64bit environment. We used to get away with it because we ran in 32bit mode. So we need to let Mac and Linux have their own assembly which will work in both 32 and 64 bit, and windows can have its own 64bit only version.
