I sometimes contribute to Emacs. On X11, we use XFT to render text. On Windows, we use Uniscribe. I suppose we could be using DirectWrite instead, but Uniscribe produces pretty good results.

What specific improvements would you like to see in Emacs text rendering? What is Skia doing that these very common system text rendering interfaces are not?
