Switch from
fontduetocosmic-text.cosmic-textprovides more functionality thanfontdue(check thecosmic-textreadme to compare againstfontdueif you're curious) and the performance should be relatively comparable for typical use cases.cosmic-textappears to be slightly slower when I tested with a text-heavy application, but this is mostly due to the shaping inrustybuzz(which has room for future performance optimization) and can usually be cached.Because of the functionality I've decided to switch over to
cosmic-text, but please feel free to fork an earlier version ofglyphonif you'd like to continue using it withfontdue. For now it doesn't feel worthwhile trying to maintain both implementations in the same repository, though I'd be open to some kind of solution to this if there's a lot of interest.
