Would this be useful for Terminal? Or could Terminal use Slug’s algorithm to improve text rendering?

@lhecker is already all over this :D

Improve? No. DirectWrite has a fairly respectable TTF rasterizer. But I suspect it'd be significantly less laggy for rendering complex text and may be a neat solution for us to draw arbitrary bezier curves.

In my opinion it should be used as a default rasterizer in Direct2D for rasterizations from outlines (e.g. during animations, HiDPI displays, etc.).
