Investigate and implement alternative font renderers in FreeType, including:
• font-rs
• font-go
• fontdue
• Pathfinder
Thus the project is about implementing an alternative FT_Renderer module in C that can take
priority over the native FreeType rasterizer after carefully analysing the available work. If required,
any Rust code will be ported to C to ensure maximum portability of the code.
