tfw you realize you've specified your own font format and implemented your own font viewer and you're no closer to accomplishing the thing you set out to do than when you started https://octodon.social/media/52zCIAX1W4CeycwAQcM

I have officially spent too much time fucking around with obscure greek lowercase on this project
Attention font nerds! What is this glyph? It appears twice in the Hershey font and I can't find a unicode equivalent!
am i remapping the hershey fonts manually? it looks like i am remapping the hershey fonts manually.
i am remapping the hershey fonts manually.
ugh.
oh, goodie. the hershey font breakdown that everyone uses is missing glyphs available in the full set. why did i go down this rabbit hole

Keeping on with a theme. Some stuff proceeded with more confidence for this one, some stuff didn't work out the way I thought it might.
Big surprise for me is how geometrically unstable it feels; it's very very easy to essentially invert the implied geometry to see this as point out toward the viewer instead of receding, but that's incompatible with the perspective and so it won't really settle down at all.
