## Library Updates

### [psf2]

[psf2] is a minimal, unopinionated, no-std parser for the v2 [PC Screen
Font](https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/font-formats-1.html) bitmap font format.

PSF2 fonts are simple, compact, and readily available due to their use as Linux console fonts. They
are extremely fast to draw at their intended resolution, making them a great choice to quickly get
text on the screen, especially when a low-resolution, fixed-width aesthetic is desired.

The psf2 crate parses font data, exposing font size, glyph lookup, and iterators to traverse a
glyph's bitmap for easy rendering. Due to its limited scope, it is much smaller and faster than
conventional text rasterizers, but cannot support variable-sized, anti-aliased, or shaped text.
