cairo-dwrite-font-view

A font viewer using the cairo dwrite font backend and vanilla DirectWrite.

I'd like to recommend to run multiple instances of the program side-by-side to compere the font renderings.

You need Meson, Ninja, pkg-config and Visual Studio. You can get pkg-config from the pkg-config website or package managers (Chocolatey or winget).

Get the source code of cairo.

Compile and install the cairo.

cd your_cairo_src_dir
