Off topic, but are there any accessible resources to learn: 1. How fonts get rendered? What happens when I present browser with a font file and some utf-8 bytes, how does it convert this into viewable text.

2. Once browser creates DOM and CSSOM how does it use this information to create the view that I see?

Hey nice resource but this is more of a tutorial on how to optimize font loading etc... >The browser performs layout and paints content to the screen. This is the step I want to understand more thoroughly..
