Top 6 font-rendering Open-Source Projects

  • mactype

    Better font rendering for Windows.

    • Project mention: GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07

    I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.

    This is great work btw.
