### Robo Instructus: [Font Rendering Saga][otf-font-rendering]

![ttf example](ttf.gif)

This month, the developer behind Robo Instructus spent lots of time working on
font rendering. They were looking to expand translations to languages that had
different characters, such as Cyrillic or Chinese. This would require support
for cubic bezier curves, not just quadratic curves. You can [read their
blog][otf-font-rendering] for an in-depth explanation. This lead to the release
of [ab_glyph 0.1][otf-saga-ab-glyph] that supports otf fonts, which then lead to
[glyph_brush 0.7][otf-saga-glyph-brush] based on this, and finally [otf fonts in
Robo Instructus][otf-font-robo].
