Crate fontmesh 

fontmesh

A pure Rust library for converting TrueType font glyphs to 2D and 3D triangle meshes.

This library provides a simple API for loading TrueType fonts and generating triangle meshes from individual glyphs. It supports both 2D (flat) and 3D (extruded) meshes.

Features

• Pure Rust: No C dependencies, fully cross-platform including WASM
• 2D & 3D: Generate both flat 2D meshes and extruded 3D meshes
• Quality Control: Adjustable tessellation quality
• Efficient: Uses lyon_tessellation for robust triangulation

Example

use fontmesh::{Font, Quality};

// Load a font
let font_data = include_bytes!("path/to/font.ttf");
let font = Font::from_bytes(font_data)?;

// Generate a 2D mesh
let mesh_2d = font.glyph_to_mesh_2d('A', Quality::Normal)?;

// Generate a 3D mesh
let mesh_3d = font.glyph_to_mesh_3d('A', Quality::High, 5.0)?;
