An exploration of the layout models of TeX and Typst.

To improve the font pipeline, consider how to efficiently choose and render glyphs for different languages, including handling ligatures and memory constraints. You may need to create texture atlases for various glyphs while ensuring new translations are incorporated. Finally, optimize rendering to avoid blurriness and ensure smooth performance across different character sets.

Text rendering involves converting vector glyphs to bitmaps, positioning them on screen, and optimizing performance by using glyph atlases. Glyph atlases store rasterized glyphs efficiently, allowing for sub-pixel alignment and improved rendering quality. This approach balances performance and quality in text rendering for different types of fonts.

FreeType is a software library for rendering fonts, available for free. It is designed to be small, efficient, and capable of producing high-quality font images. Users can find installation instructions, documentation, and ways to communicate with the FreeType team on their website.
