Never heard about q5, just saw this post on reddit. Sounds really intresting and worth looking into. Any idea if performance is better than vello? And how does it handle glyph rendering, any performance comparisons for font/glyphs with p5/pixi?

It uses MSDF for text rendering. This technique was pioneered by devs at Valve for use in video games. Blazing fast! But fonts need to be in the special MSDF format.
