I'm very certain you are mistaken :) Rendering fonts is unfortunately pretty difficult due to complexity issues. To get speed you always need a cache. WPFs glyph cache isn't the first one Windows has, actually GDI has one too. WPF shares the glyphs as textures as far as I understand.

I think the biggest challenge would be reading in the ttf etc. format. Given a solid graphics library I doubt actually rendering the fonts should be hard (e.g. g.FillRegion(glyphCache["Times New Roman.A"]). -----Original Message----- From: Maciej Jagiello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, 15 April 2008 11:53 PM To: sharpos-developers@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SharpOS Developers] Managed Operating System Alliance IMHO the most compelling field of interest for standard or common code is font rendering engine. There is some work in this field in Java that shouldn't be overlooked, like TrueType font editors. Just a two cents of mine.
