I mean, good news, but even going down the route of using pre rendered fonts in the first place seems misguided O_o
Unless you prerender every sentence, kerning issues must have been unbearable even for latin scripts
It’s what everyone used back in the Quake 3 days.
This is an odd comment on a website where most users are happy working with mono-spaced text most days. Not everyone has kemingphobia.
Fun fact: 0ad still doesn't support kerning. While I would've loved to see proper kerning support in r28, there is only so much a team of volunteers can do.
If you're interested in progress in this area, I suggest you keep an eye on https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/7945
