This stuff is very low-level, and would generally be below anything else in the font-stack. For instance the font-types
crate has no dependencies, and the read-fonts
crate only depends on that and bitflags
; same with write-fonts
, but it also depends (currently optionally) on read-fonts
.
An actual font compiler would sit on top of write-fonts
, and would likely have various other dependencies, to be determined. :)
Thank you, I thought this was a fontmake replacement.
I read the slides, but it is unclear. Yes, read-fonts and write-fonts, but what crates do they use?
Is MFEK/pathops potentially part of this? What about MFEK/feaparser.rlib? Doubtful that MFEK/glifparser.rlib will be unless MFEKglif gets more popular and more people want to automatically compile its special .glifjson format. (I'm probably only one in the world that does so currently.)
