DirectWrite integration #2

Open matprec opened 7 years ago

matprec commented 7 years ago

@vvuk wrote Rust bindings for DirectWrite which some applications use internally, e.g. WR/Servo. Currently, we're using wingdi for font enumeration, but DirectWrite has an interoperabillity interface for wingdi, but this part isn't ported yet.

ToDo:

Do you actually need the GDI interop? If dwrite is available, it seems like the crate should fully use it and not go to GDI at all.

matprec commented 7 years ago

@vvuk Yes GDI interop is desired, as of the current state of winapi-rs bindings, one can't figure out whether or not a font is monospaced. For reference MSDN Docs and winapi-rs Docs. Also, font loading from disk isn't implemented yet, so this would be the most easy way for us to maintain our interface.

I have the corresponding PR almost ready, expect it to come soon :)
