crossfont
crossfont is a cross-platform Rust library for loading fonts and rasterizing glyphs, using native font engines whenever possible.
Supported Backends
| Platform | Backends |
|---|---|
| Linux | Freetype |
| BSD | Freetype |
| Windows | DirectWrite |
| macOS | Core Text |
Known Issues
Since crossfont was originally made solely for rendering monospace fonts in Alacritty, there currently is only very limited support for proportional fonts.
Loading a lot of different fonts might also lead to resource leakage since they are not explicitly dropped from the cache.
lib.rs:
Compatibility layer for different font engines.
CoreText is used on macOS. DirectWrite is used on Windows. FreeType is used everywhere else.
