Chromium team developed a new font rendering library (Skrifa) as part of their Fontations library written in Rust. Skrifa now provides memory safe rendering for all web fonts since Chromium 133 for Android, ChromeOS and other Linux distributions:

Android 13 is the first Android release where a majority of new code added to the release is in a memory safe language.
Android has much more heavily adopted Rust since then. It’s nice to see Chromium starting.
Android is using Rust as the low-level language of choice for new low-level components outside of the Linux kernel and is working towards enabling using it for new drivers. They’re not mass porting code to it but rather it has largely replaced C++ for new components and rewrites.
