Open-source alternatives to Michaelrsweet Ttf

The ttf2mesh crossplatform library allows to convert a glyphs of truetype font (ttf) to a mesh objects in 2d and 3d space. The library does not require any graphical context and does not use system dependent functions.

This is a font renderer written (mostly) in pure, safe Rust. There is an optional SIMD module for cumulative sum, currently written in C SSE3 intrinsics.

This project is a collection of portable, header-only C functions designed for integration into software projects without complex build dependencies or external linking requirements. It provides a suite of low-level utilities for graphics, audio, and data management, focusing on direct memory manipulation and zero-dependency portability. By utilizing a single-header distribution model, the library simplifies dependency management while allowing developers to maintain full control over memory allocation and binary size through compile-time configuration. The library distinguishes itself by off

Pathfinder 3 is a fast, practical, GPU-based rasterizer for fonts and vector graphics using OpenGL 3.0+, OpenGL ES 3.0+, or Metal.

Rust bindings for FreeType library

Low level bindings for the FreeType font library.

A library for reading fonts from the TrueType format

RustType is a pure Rust alternative to libraries like FreeType.

This project is not developed any further. For a font renderer, have a look at Apache PDFBox.

A small library for displaying Unicode in OpenGL using a single texture and a single vertex buffer.

A tiny font library intended for use on Arduino and other similar platforms

font-kit provides a common interface to the various system font libraries and provides services such as finding fonts on the system, performing nearest-font matching, and rasterizing glyphs.
