Description
GNOME has a first-class solution for rendering internationalized text since its early days, with Pango. In recent years, development of text rendering and font handling has moved more and more to harfbuzz.
In this presentation, we will take a look at the shape of the text rendering stack underneath GTK, compare how it worked in the past, how it works today, and provide some outlook for how and why it might change in the future.
The talk will be accessible to anyone with a general interest in typography and graphics.
