Ah, I was going to post it after dinner, but turns out someone already did :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, if anyone has questions that the blog doesn’t answer, I can try to answer them.

Sorry :sweat_smile:

I like how even though the text testing sheet is all over the place it still looks kinda coherent :wink:

Thanks @wolthera it’s a very interesting read. It sure looks incredibly difficult to get this right/ working.
Can’t help but to like hanging punctuation, now that I have seen it lol.

This was a fascinating read. Even though half of it went right over my head, I have a new appreciation for the complexity of text rendering.

Thanks everyone!

The power of composition!

Yeah, I had a bit of trouble deciding whether I should try to make it more accessible or focus on just telling what I did. Eventually I chose the latter, because I felt that I figured out some things that would help others doing text layout, and trying to make it more accessible would either result in dumbing it down, or going from the 7K words it is now to 50K words instead :smiley: .

So much work. This be more features that what was expected perhaps.

I did got curious about the document language affecting the rule choice. Sound interesting.

Wow it looks really interesting and useful. Thanks @wolthera for the hard work.
