SourParse

SourParse

World's Best TTF Parser, 2025

Etymology

• SourParse -> Sour & Parse
• Sour, like a lemon, & Parse, the action of converting a file to usable data

Todo List

• fix memory leaks
• [NOTE: not doing this. It's fine for the user to just read it themselves] read composite glyphs' child glyphs into memory as positions (I actualy might make it just be references to glyphs and then just compute the values at runtime, but with a whole ttf file loaded i think its only like 1mb super maximum of memory so it really doesn't matter)
• add support for other formats
• add complete TTF support (all the platforms and encodings. Well not the deprecated/obscure ones probably)
• read glyph position data (kerning, width to move, etc)
• add composite glyph transforms besides position
