Description

In the spirit of the similar issue in fontmake-rs, I thought I’d create one here for bikeshedding on names.

My personal preference is that the names should reflect the fact that these are low level libraries for a particular binary format.

To get the ball rolling, I’ll throw out “croft-” as a prefix. A sort of backronym for Compile/Read OpenFont/Type. I think that checks all the boxes.

Whatever we choose, it would also be nice to have a metacrate that pulls them all together with traverse/write feature gated.

Next!
