Tincture - Typographic PDF generation with no runtime dependencies
2026-07-31
Tincture is a pure Elixir library for PDF generation that implements typographic quality rendering entirely in Elixir/OTP without external dependencies, featuring TeX hyphenation, Knuth-Plass line breaking, TrueType/OpenType font embedding with subsetting, and support for PDF/UA and PDF/A standards. Built as a modernized fork of erlguten with preserved attribution, it includes advanced capabilities like GPOS kerning, GSUB ligatures, AES-256 encryption, forms, and digital signatures, with conformance verified against PDF/UA-1 and PDF/A-2 standards.
