msdf still suffers from detail loss at large sizes, which this method doesn't have.

A wave of manic energy in December had me put together a long deck called "HarfBuzz at 20! " , celebrating 20 years of HarfBuzz.

I designed the deck to be presented at the #WebEnginesHackfest later this year. Then reality hit that I cannot present this deck in any sane amount of time.

I decided that instead of tossing the deck out, I just out to be read by the curious. I will present a highly condensed version at the hackfest in June.

Let me know what you think.

I have a puzzle for the hacker in you: The font HarfBust.ttf is an offshoot of Anton Regular, with a twist:

  - On software using HarfBuzz (as far back as you go, back to the 2000s) and HarfBuzz only, it will ligate "HarfBuzz" to the HarfBuzz logo.

  - On software using HarfRust and HarfRust only, it will ligate "HarfRust" to the HarfBuzz logo.

  - On software using HarfBuzz, HarfRust, or DirectWrite, but not CoreText, it will ligate "HarfBust" to the HarfBuzz logo.

How does this work? The font does not use any non-standard OpenType features like `HARF`/`Harf`/`BUZZ`/`Buzz` (which HarfBuzz / HarfRust apply).

Enjoy, --behdad
