Yes, fonts are a major motivation for the work. Font engines don’t natively support the splines, but it’s possible to convert them to quadratic or cubic Bézier curves (fun fact, most fonts are drawn in cubic Béziers and converted to quadratics anyway). There’s a chapter in my thesis on optimized conversions.
The work going forward is going to be very font related. Stay tuned.
Good code, good license, congrats!
I’m unfamiliar, could this be used for fonts?
I thought font engines only handled bezier curves? Would they need extending?
