This is neat! And cool to hear this made a financial difference for them. Gah, I remember the name Chevy Ray from indie games, but I cannot put my finger on what this person made… would have been like 2010 to 2012? In the same vein as VVVVVV or nidhogg or canabalt as I recall
I would like microns on the vowles, as we type a lot of Māori words....
Interesting how easy it is to make an operation like this run on multiple cores in Rust. Inserting a single call into a chain of functions can be enough.
These look absolutely delightful! A quick question: I'm working on retro consoles, and so I need fonts where each glyph is a multiple of 8px wide for easy display on tile-based backgrounds. Are the sizes (in pixels) of your font packs listed anywhere?
Edit: that's the height, the width is not fixed/I think it varies with the exact font and the kerning. It's probably too big for you anyways.

It's not really unique to Rust. Scala and Java both support this out of the box.

In other languages those violations are things you have to run a race detector and actually evoke the condition to find, or you abandon fine grained/tracked ownership and use garbage collection.
I find typography resists my attempts to wrap my head around it, because even though I can do basic analysis like serif vs sans serif, I get a sort of brain fog when it comes to telling fonts apart or intuiting which fonts to use in different situations.
It's really hard to wrap my head around the idea that one person could make 175 fonts and that they would each be meaningfully different from each other. Like, how does one not accidentally recreate the same font?
