HarfBust: A font software puzzle for the curious
- behdad 1y agoI 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
