@alcinnz@floss.social I’ve been diving deep here myself, and have learned that typefaces and rendering them in a way that doesn’t look like crap is actually incredibly sophisticated technology disguised as trivially simple if you’re thinking about it from the angle of “just writing some text”. Learned recently that Knuth delayed publishing his masterpiece for ten years until he got TeX into a state where it could render his vision adequately.
