Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
Or even ttf-parser, which is usually even faster than C alternatives, no unsafe, no explicit SIMD.

The `rusttype` crate is looking for a new maintainer
Most of the code is in ttf-parser which is ~10KLOC.

Options for SVG / Text rendering on 2D pixel buffer
I've seen resvg as a potential pick, but it feels huge and seems to be importing skia, which itself is a whole rendering engine. Furthermore, I have no idea if I can pass my own 2D buffer to resvg and let it draw to it.

png crate gets an ultrafast compression mode, up to 4x faster decompression
For example, when converting vector SVG images to raster PNG images with resvg, most of the time is spent compressing the PNG image. This is a lot of wasted work if we just want to read the image instead of transferring it over the network! The fast compression mode eliminates all this wasted work, resulting in huge performance and efficiency gains.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
Just as a point of reference, I have a ~75KLOC project (includes dependencies) called resvg which takes just 4s in the debug mode and 8s in the release mode to build on M1 Pro.

Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
resvg is very fast, although the performance depends on the exact SVG you feed it - sometimes faster than librsvg, sometimes slower (although librsvg is also written in Rust now, it does use unsafe while resvg doesn't)

How to run this Rust project?
So I am absolutely clueless about Rust and just installed it an hour ago to use this tool called "usvg" https://github.com/RazrFalcon/resvg/tree/master/usvg

I think more Rust devs should focus more on rewriting software that is prone to exploitation
So, all you gotta do is rewrite the parsers. Funny you mention librsvg because there is a library called resvg that has a thumbnailer implementation for Windows Explorer. https://github.com/RazrFalcon/resvg
