IIRC, Servo's text shaping code has implemented few if any of the caches that are in Thebes. I would recommend implementing them first (also, soon supporting RTL and complex text layout) before comparing to highly optimized text rendering. On Sep 17, 2013, at 8:56 AM, Patrick Walton wrote: >

Also, in Servo you could try doing parallel shaping, which should work well. I agree fully with what Jonathan said. Bypassing shaping is unlikely to make sense in the long run. Rob -- Jtehsauts tshaei dS,o n" Wohfy Mdaon yhoaus eanuttehrotraiitny eovni le atrhtohu gthot sf oirng iyvoeu rs i
