This the approach that Cairo uses to work with OpenGL. Cairo is doing very good job at rendering fonts. Athens wraps Cairo, so maybe if you use Athens with a modern wrapper of OpenGL for Pharo this will save all the trouble of doing it from scratch. But I have not tested this in practice so I offer no promise it will be that easy. On Fri, 22 Jul 2016 at 15:05, Thibault Raffaillac < thibault.raffail...@inria.fr> wrote:
