Re:Better text rendering in Chromium-based browsers on Windows by jgneff on Thursday February 13, 2025 @12:42PM (#43038828)
That's actually pretty fast. It took 10 years for Java[1] and 5 years for JavaFX[2] to fix some trivial but rather severe text rendering bugs. Most of that time was getting enough courage to fix them myself. :-)

Reporting text rendering bugs is frustratingly difficult!
