That sounds fantastic! Where's the open source github for it? Now that I've seen the calculator I'm hungry for more. Also, I'm not sure DirectWrite solves all the problems, for example I don't see unicode-range in the font property enumeration.

Office have a lot of text infrastructure (font linking, emoji handler, etc.), but I do not know whether they will be open sourced.

I was only half-joking, the MS stance on open source today is astonishing considering the history. If there are open source plans, I'd be interested. I also talk about this a bit in my podcast (https://xi-editor.io/updates/xi-day-radio.html …). There's DWrite port code in Wine, but we didn't go that way.
