# crossfont
crossfont is a cross-platform Rust library for loading fonts and rasterizing
glyphs, using native font engines whenever possible.
### Supported Backends
| Linux | Freetype |
| BSD | Freetype |
| Windows | DirectWrite |
| macOS | Core Text |
### Known Issues
Since crossfont was originally made solely for rendering monospace fonts in
[Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty), there currently is only
very limited support for proportional fonts.
Loading a lot of different fonts might also lead to resource leakage since they
are not explicitly dropped from the cache.
