hi there,
Right now, I am pretty happy with the state of the
x/image/font{,/sfnt,/opentype}} packages. I can load TTF/OTF files, draw
some glyphs in a way that (almost) resembles LaTeX[1].
Great. (and many thanks, by the way.)
We migrated gonum/plot[2] from freetype to x/image/font recently and all
our use cases worked well (as far as I know.)
Well, all, save for one: being able to embed fonts into PDFs.
To some extent, embedding fonts into PDF files needs to re-serialize
sfnt.Font back into a []byte following the OTF format.
Unless I am mistaken, x/image/font doesn't seem to provide the reverse
function of sfnt.Parse.
(This is a bit annoying because one needs to provide a way to associate
a given font.Face or sfnt.Font with its original []byte raw data.)
Is it something that x/image/font should or would provide?
