Hi HN!

I've always wondered how 2D elements are rendered on a computer screen, so as a first step, I wrote a tiny TrueType renderer to help me understand it. I did a bunch of trial and error, and during that process, a good amount of notes are accumulated. Then eventually I thought it might be interesting for others too.

I hope you enjoy the article, Have fun :)
