Welcome to the Derakuma wiki and documentation page! Derakuma is a parsing library specifically designed for Fontobene, both for the web, Node.js, or Bun. Imagine Derakuma as the HarfBuzz of vector stroke fonts.

Please note: Derakuma is not a font renderer! You must do the rendering part yourself (which is suprisingly easy). Derakuma only provides the exact drawing commands to be used.

Sample images of Derakuma in action

  • Newstroke font (native from fontobene/fontobene-fonts) rendered with Canvas2D alongside Derakuma.

  • Hershey font (known as romans, extracted from LibreCAD, converted into Fontobene) rendered with WebGL.
