Hello Werner and other folks, Here is the status update on the font-rs port for FreeType:
1. Code: I have pushed the ported font-rs code to the "gsoc-anurag-2022" branch (here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-anurag-2022) The rasterizer is working now (albeit with some artefacts, image attached), but the code is in a very early stage and I'm working on cleaning it. It took me longer than I had hoped to get it working, but there should be regular updates from now on. 2. Documentation: I have started work on improving the existing documentation (explanations for functions, macros, algorithms), but I feel my understanding of the smooth rasterizer is still lacking. I have been reading up on the _algorithm_, but I still have some trouble with understanding the _implementation_ in FreeType. I would really appreciate it if I could get any pointers or resources regarding that, maybe old mailing list discussions or such. I hope to have a draft of the documentation improvements by next week. 3. Performance Comparison: I am working on cleaning up the code and should have numbers to show soon. TL;DR: 1. Initial Ported code is in the "gsoc-anurag-2022" branch 2. Documentation is under progress (would appreciate help regarding this) 3. Initial Performance comparisons coming soon. Regards Anurag
