Question : do you have or plan to support font rendering ? #46

Hello,

sorry if it is not the good way of asking question :)

thanks

ryanisaacg commented 6 years ago

Font rendering is definitely something I want to add. Currently the plan is to add Bitmap font support (pre-rendered font characters in a texture) but if I find a good Rust font library I would tack on support for loading actual font files.

great :)

@ryanisaacg you're probably aware of this but just in case, there is a pure Rust font library that's used by Amethyst as well as Piston:

@tomassedovic I wasn't aware actually, thanks for the heads up. A preliminary check shows that it builds for wasm which is a good sign

By the way thanks for doing this. I can't wait to replace my cargo-culted opengl code with a good 2D graphics lib and quicksilver seems to be closest to what I need. Getting wasm as a bonus is almost too good to be true :-).

Glad to hear it! If you run into any problems feel free to open an issue.
