Please forgive the stupid question, since I don't know low level coding too well but: what are some uses of this? It says it's a "Rust library for OpenType font rendering" - so since it's a library that means other rust code can use it for their purposes. So might this someday find its way into Servo? Is it possible for other languages to take advantage of this, too?


> So might this someday find its way into Servo?

Yes, as the blog post states one of the immediate next goals is to hook this up to WebRender. WebRender is the 2D graphics backend for Servo.

Yes, if bindings are written.
