Crate skrifa

A robust, ergonomic, high performance crate for OpenType fonts.

Skrifa is a mid level library that provides access to various types of metadata contained in a font as well as support for loading glyph outlines.

It is described as “mid level” because the library is designed to sit above low level font parsing (provided by read-fonts) and below a higher level text layout engine.

See the readme for additional details.
