      Thanks for your work on this! Will make it much easier for us to test our font shaping work 🙂

      Really looking forward to having something to test, the idea of building the entire stack Rust-native is very exciting!

      Also let me know if you have a URL you'd like me to link to, but the sense I get is that it's maybe too early to have a high public profile.

      We have a private repository, currently called 'Allsorts'. But most of our work has been in Prince itself at the moment. We're gradually cutting the tendrils to allow it to be extracted though.

      Full warning - we may end up having to rewrite a bunch of stuff now that we understand the problem better. And it's taken time because we're trying to push our findings upstream to people who care about improving the shaping specification.

      Having a real independent implementation often does wonders for specification work, especially something as hairy as OpenType. In any case, really looking forward to following your progress.

          Yeah, I've been mainly watching from the sidelines giving encouragement - @adrianwongy has been doing most of the heavy lifting on this! Subscribe to the issues on https://github.com/n8willis/opentype-shaping-documents/ … if you want to see some of our findings 🙂

          The encouragement (and the guidance on Rust) has been very much appreciated. Most days, my "heavy lifting" is more accurately described as "repeatedly face-planting". We're getting there, though!
