Virtual Machines render fonts. It’s kind of insane.
TrueType has its own instruction set, memory stack, and function calls.
You can debug it like assembly. It’s also exploitable:

I was thinking this morning about Open Source inspirations, remakes and offshoots of popular games.
These are often made years after the original games are commercially viable. (I've excluded any that require paid assets.)
Here are a few worth checking out! (A thread)

This is what AI coding assistance gets wrong, the goal is not more code, but less.

My GPU has 45 billion transistors in it.
Like, we have this magic rock that we carved 45,000,000,000 miniature switches on it to create images of worlds that do not exist on a screen.
We really, really not appreciate enough how insanely magical technology is.
