my new #threejs text library started out trying to fit kerning into textgeometry/facetype lol. have been heads down since... slowly and then suddenly, it's done.. check out the demo countertype.com/tools/three-... @threejs.org

the solution to my issue with #threejs shapes when text shaping OTF and TTF files with harfbuzz was to build a new kind of text geometry to use instead of shapes. adding knuth-plass linebreaking next :)

I will definitely publish it as a library for the community once I've thoroughly tested and optimized it! it requires ~300kb of hb.wasm, but that plus a font file is still overall smaller than facetype. screenshot of an OTF, includes contextual alternates and kerning

another sabbath record on SNC (moscow, 1990) with alternate cover art. paranoid’s original font is a photo-type called bloop, but the record label would have designed their own cyrillic. designer uncredited #nowplaying #SNCrecords #Эс-Эн-СиРекордз #blacksabbath #БлэкСаббат

the black sabbath records on SNC all have such good album art. the text in Vol. 4 is originally set in a modified/de-ornamented version of Gadget Lined from Zipatone, but the Cyrillic takes it to another level. designer uncredited! #nowplaying #SNC #Эс-Эн-СиРекордз
