Are you aware of the typography module

Thanks for this amazing software.

Just wanted to call your attention for this typography module, written in Nim. Perhaps it can be incorporated into your work too:

Keep up.

Thank you for the information.
Due to the format/spec of PDF itself, only a subset of typography functionality can be used along with nimPDF. And that functionality is the typesetting.

• simple way to incorporate typography:

  • calculate the layout using typography
  • draw the layout using nimPDF
  • the result is bigger pdf file.

• hard way to incorporate typography:

  • grab typography layout source code
  • add it into nimPDF text renderer
  • produce smaller pdf file

But I believe I have to go the hard way because of intricate glyph handling required by PDF internal.
I still remember the nightmare of development hell when I implement TTF and unicode support in nimPDF.
