Modern Text Rendering with Linux

This is missing a text layout engine: separating a string of texts into multiple blocks with word wrap. This is handled in GTK+ through Pango and in Qt with an internal algorithm. I don't believe FreeBiDi/ICU is used in either.

Do projects like Pathfinder fit into this stack anywhere? At a guess you could replace Freetype with it, but I guess it does more?

Great detailed pictures. I&#x27;m curious where general hinting belongs.

To make it more modern, hopefully they will replace the XML by JSON at some point.
