Design Choices/Comments/Notes
I wrote the initial version of this pretty quickly and based on some previous people’s works that I’d seen as well as some stuff I’d played around with. Going with SharpFont as the core of the library allowed me to create this quicker, but it does come with a cost dependency wise. I’d like to rework this library at some point soon to remove the dependency and create a pure managed C# library for doing this.
