GLyphy is an experimental text rasterizer engine based on the OpenGL ES2
technology.  Unlike traditional text rasterizers (eg. FreeType), all
rasterization happens on the GPU and in real time.  Since its first public
appearance at Libre Graphics Meeting in 2012, GLyphy has gained more advanced
capabilities like anisotropic antialiasing and subpixel rendering, as well as
more efficient glyph storage and use of resources.

In this talk I will discuss the design, challenges, and benefits of new
approaches to text rasterization for the emerging types of computer hardware.
The algorithms and technics involved may prove useful in other computer
graphics contexts as well.
