I'm keep saying this (and it's mentioned in the original comment) - it's not criticism to the project, it's criticism to the 'suckless' philosophy. I have total respect to the project, and I believe that if this project can succeed in having comparable features with less complexity with FreeType, it will be great. Also, the mention of CJK support is based on my personal experience. (I've mentioned it here[0], previously.) Much bigger open source projects like whole linux distributions or even proprietary software companies don't do CJK (or at least Hangul) properly. I'm pretty sure, from my experience that a small library fails to do it properly. If it does (as I've mentioned above), it would be great. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22933613 |

“Ok, this is a bit of a offtopic rant, but this project seems to be aiming ‘suckless’[0].
For me and a lot of users, that means that this project probably won’t be useful for a lot of non-ASCII users, especially for CJK users like me.”
