State of Text Rendering 2024
(behdad.org)
For me the current State of Text Rendering is that I don't have to think about text rendering anymore. And that is awesome.
I remember the dark days of having to patch freetype and cairo with infinality patches and the endless tweaking. Nowadays you get good (enough) font rendering out of the box, and it's rare that you have to tweak something.
