Text rendering #1

@RazrFalcon

Description

@RazrFalcon

Text rendering is not supported and not planned. This is an absurdly complex task and the Rust ecosystem doesn't provide basically any libraries to implement this.

We need:

  • Font parser: ttf-parser.
  • Text shaper: rustybuzz or all-sorts.
  • Font database with a font fallback mechanism.
  • High-quality glyph rasterization library. Like ab_glyph_rasterizer, but with FreeType level of quality.
  • Code in tiny-skia that ties it all together.
