[Some work](https://git.ekleog.org/leo/dtext) has already been done to replace
libXft and Fontconfig. Real-world testing is however still needed.
+A simple solution is [Scalable Screen Font](https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/scalable-font2),
+which is a dependency-free, single ANSI C89 header file that can render bitmap,
+pixmap and vector fonts using the same API. Uses a very efficient font format and
+includes a multiplatform command line tool to convert virtually all font files
+into .sfn files. Comparable to professional font rendering engines, supports
+UNICODE, scaling, anti-aliasing, alpha-blending, kerning, ligatures etc.
+
***Requirements:*** C knowledge, some X11 knowledge and of course knowledge
about the font formats and how to handle them.
