Glifo provides APIs for efficiently rendering glyphs and paint styles like underline.

## Goals

Glifo is under rapid development. Consider it experimental for now. Its goals are to:

- Provide an API surface that accepts glyphs and their positions and renders them to a surface.
- Cache those glyphs so that repeated renders of a glyph are fast.
- Support rendering paint styles like underline, strikethrough, and brush color.
- Share expensive structs and data between the shaper and renderer like the hinting instance and hinted advance.

## Features

- `std` (enabled by default): Get floating point functions from the standard library
  (likely using your target's libc).
- `libm`: Use floating point implementations from `libm`.
- `png`: Enables PNG support for drawing bitmap glyphs.

At least one of `std` and `libm` is required.

## Minimum supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This version of Glifo has been verified to compile with **Rust 1.88** and later.

Future versions of Glifo might increase the Rust version requirement.
It will not be treated as a breaking change and as such can even happen with small patch releases.
