It was shocking to find this strange binding. Alt+Q wraps paragraph in emacs and in VS Code. 20.04 is out and still has this strangeness.

I take it Cyrillic small caps are not implemented yet?

6 seconds still sounds a bit excessive. I ran a microarchitecture benchmark. Your code issues 259,000,000 floating-point instructions for polygons 24 and 27. This amount of FLOP is enough to...

Have you tried contacting the authors for comments? Emails are in the paper. Maybe they have some secret sauce.

Well, I have to thank you for the great amount of work you've done to show this algorithm is impractical. The authors' silence probably means they know very well about...
