WeasyPrint is great, but PlutoPrint takes a different angle: the engine is all C++, so it’s faster and lighter on memory. It can render directly to PNG as well as PDF, and has stronger SVG support.

PlutoBook looks very impressive. Is it based on another renderer?

  • Doesn't look like it:

    > Required: cairo, freetype, harfbuzz, fontconfig, expat, icu

    > Optional: curl, turbojpeg, webp (enable additional features)
