Writing a TrueType font renderer
I have a small TTF implementation that's in the neighborhood of that size and is open source. It's part of my canvas_ity single-header library [0] that's around 2300 LOC / 36 KB object size and implements a C++ version of most of the 2D HTML5 canvas spec [1].
The core implementation of the TTF parsing and drawing is in L1526-L1846 with another small bit at L3205-L3274 of src/canvas_ity.hpp.
It's something of a toy implementation that only supports western left-to-right text, and doesn't do any hinting at all, nor kerning, nor shaping. But it's enough to draw a basic "Hello world!" using any typical TTF file.
The test suite in test/test.cpp L84-304 embeds a few custom Base64-encoded TTF files. They're small and only have a few glyphs but they do exercise a number of interesting edge cases in the OpenType TTF spec [2]. Have a look at the HTML5 port of the test suite at test/test.html in different browsers to see how their canvas implementations render those fonts.

The Lone Developer Problem
Agreed, that sort of documentation is pure gold when done well.
It's something I always try to pay forward by doing in my own code. For example, one of my own solo projects was an STB-style single-header -like rasterizer library for C++. I started the implementation half of the library with a short outline of the rendering pipeline's dataflow and the top-level functions responsible for each stage:

Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?
https://github.com/a-e-k/canvas_ity
This is an STB-style single-header C++ library with no dependencies beyond the standard C++ library. In about 2300 lines of 78-column code (not counting blanks or comments), or 1300 semicolons, it implements an API based on the basic W3C specification to draw 2D vector graphics into an image buffer:
- Strokes and fills (with antialiasing and gamma-correct blending)
- Linear and radial gradients
- Patterns (with repeat modes and bi-cubic resampling)
- Line caps and line joins (handling high curvature)
- Dash patterns and dash offsets
- Transforms
- Lines, quadratic and cubic Beziers, arcs, and rectangles
- Text (very basic, but does its own TTF font file parsing!)
- Raster images (i.e., sprites)
- Clipping (via masking)
- Compositing modes (Porter-Duff)
- Drop shadows with Gaussian blurs
I also uncovered a number of interesting browser quirks along the way with the HTML5 port of my testing suite.
