Linefont: Font for rendering line chart data
Not to be too negative, but this seems quite inaccessible to anyone using a screen reader or other non-visual output device. Unlike with SVGs or images, there seems to be no way to provide an alternative representation?
Similar to the inaccessibility of icon fonts, but those tend to use private use character codes rather than actual readable text; reading the example page [1] with a screen reader is... not a great experience.

Social Media Cards with @vercel/og
With an SVG we can define our image as code, which is pretty neat. But SVG is not able to wrap texts. We can use opentype.js to calculate the width of our texts and to wrap it manually. Finally we have to convert the SVG to a PNG, because the most of social media platforms do not support SVG. This approach could work, but requires a lot of code and it is very complicated.

is there way to calculate the height of each letters?
The repo is public so you can take a look if you're curious. I used opentype.js to convert the font into SVG in real-time. It was a PITA.

I made a VSCode extension that lets you preview fonts in your editor
Still a few bugs to work out but I learned a ton making this! One of the cool things I learned is that you can read a font file, convert it to a base 64 string, slap it in a style element, and show that font in the browser! Huge thanks to opentype.js as well!
What are some alternatives?
