crossfont is a cross-platform Rust library for loading fonts and rasterizing glyphs, using native font engines whenever possible.
Platform | Backends |

Linux | Freetype |
BSD | Freetype |
Windows | DirectWrite |
macOS | Core Text |
Since crossfont was originally made solely for rendering monospace fonts in Alacritty, there currently is only very limited support for proportional fonts.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.
