we're obviously not experts at font rendering, juuuuust a small struggle using raylib (among other things) these things happen, keep enjoying using raylib!

you can't just load every single glyph at once, you'd end up with 4096x8192 atlas (2 bytes per pixel) that's ~64MiB of VRAM (uncompressed), if not even larger and yes, we can hear you, FontStash doesn't do everything either... for example RTL

the example we're showing can be easily fixed by telling raylib what glyphs you want, but it comes down to a cost the "hidden" cost is VRAM usage, if you take CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) fonts for example

We're currently experimenting using FontStash as font renderer instead of the #raylib built-in one the built-in one is great for small games, simple tools, etc in cases where you cannot really predict glyphs, you may need on-demand glyph rasterization

After quite the break, we're back at development hopefully we can release 0.3.0 by the end of August... well, we'll see and keep you updated till then

A while back we created a kanban board using which you can track our progress on the next release + we won't forget what has to be done and can see progress being made to have a positive feedback loop You can find it here: codeberg.org/OpenPNGStudi...

Once we're close to following release(s), we'll be testing performance on this machine if it's fast here, it's fast everywhere

We may have rewrote our project over to @/C3Lang but Rust may be the better choice🦀🚀🚀🚀

The feeling when you take a break from a project, then decide to return to it and forget what even has to be done is kinda funny

When a dependency has an older dependency 😔 yes, we're looking at you libjxl

OpenPNGStudio @openpngstudio.lowbytefox.dev · 13/03/2026

We have now added support for following image formats: AVIF, JPEG XL (partially) and WebP JPEG XL partially because there are some animation specific details not handled yet, those will be handled in future releases

001

OpenPNGStudio @openpngstudio.lowbytefox.dev · 10/03/2026

We have managed to get libavif and libjxl building, which means you'll be able to load .avif and .jxl files Now to write the loaders and hope for the best! Linux (as of now) requires system installation of brotli 😔

You're now able to specify the orientation of the panel if you need to!

Sometimes when resizing the application window, you may lose internal windows and be unable to get them back... so we added a neat little button that appears when it happens! by pressing the button, every lost internal window gets re-positioned back to the center!

When selecting a layer (or a layer group), each selected one will get an animated outline so you can easily spot it between all your layers!
