At the WWDC26 Platforms State of the Union developer keynote, we mentioned that the TrueType font hinting engine had been rewritten in Swift, for speed and memory safety. This article goes into considerable detail on "what" and "how": swift.org/blog/migrating-tru…

Migrating the TrueType hinting interpreter to Swift unlocks stronger safety, reproducible builds, and smoother integration with Apple frameworks. A milestone for performance and reliability in font rendering. #Swift #Apple #Fonts #TrueType #CompilerEngineering

主軸としてはTTF(OpenTypeレイアウト、TrueType Outlines、ビットマップ埋め込み)というものを2026年になって作ることに至っているの、たぶんなかなか怪異

Memory-safe. 13% faster on average. ⚡️ The TrueType hinting interpreter in macOS and iOS has been rewritten in Swift, replacing the original C implementation. Pixel-perfect accuracy was validated across 27 million glyphs. And the results: swift.org/blog/migrating-tru…

这篇文章值得一看:Apple 正在用 Swift 重写操作系统里那些古老的但又不能丢掉的、用 C 实现的东西,这次是 TrueType hinting interpreter。 出发点是 Memory-safe,但是也取得了性能上的提升。真是一个好消息! 期待 macOS、iOS 的 Swift 代码超过 O/OC/C 的那一天,甚至在 XNU 中看到 Swift。
