Planned to start working on this after 3.2.4 and first studio alpha. We added support for Variable Fonts in 3.2.4, this is next. |

The Slug Algorithm has gone public! What do you think about its use? |

It is a very good algorithm, but only for static vectors and requires a preprocessing step |

Just a clarification to my previous comment: Slug requires significant preprocessing of bands and bounding boxes, which is not very compatible with dynamic geometry. I haven’t experimented with it yet, but I plan to do so soon. My impression, however, is that this will be quite CPU-intensive. If we don’t precompute the bands, it will likely become very GPU-intensive instead. I understand that text is static, but we’re aiming for a solution that unifies everything—static paths, dynamic paths, and text—under the same technology. We’ve been working on this new architecture for quite some time. That said, we could definitely add support for the .slug format and use it alongside TTF. |
