A long time ago I had to write a Windows custom control for text rendering. This was really hard to do in a performant way once you dealt with different fonts, pages sizes, scrolling and all the other stuff we usually take for granted. One of the most painful months in my life but I learned a lot since nobody told me how to do this so I had to make it all up.



I’d love if you go into more detail.. dealing with similar ish right now and would love to hear other war stories
