Fontra Pak as a snap app for Linux desktop

Idly wondering, what is the most complex / well made handwriting-simulation typeface made?

Underware’s faces are pretty benchmark, like Scribo, with 1403 glyphs that substitute as you type.

Finnish is merciless, as you can see in the image below, ”tt” and ”ä” characters repeat.

GNOME's new 'Adwaita Fonts' – an Inter-esting set of new typefaces for UI and terminal https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/02/gnome-introduces-new-ui-monospace-adwaita-fonts?v1

The Chrome browser on Android, Linux and ChromeOS now does all its web font processing using a Rust-based library (Skrifa) instead of its old C++ library (FreeType).

This is part of a general trend. If you look at open jobs by programming language required, Rust is now #7 (up from #10 last time I looked). C++ and C# are declining drastically, Python, SQL, Java, and JavaScript/TypeScript are the top 5 and all growing rapidly. (Golang is #6, and also growing similarly to Rust.)

It seems like a perfect time to (re)introduce ⁂ as a symbol for the fediverse! Read our proposal at https://symbol.fediverse.info
