## Library Updates

### [psf2]

[psf2] is a minimal, unopinionated, no-std parser for the v2
[PC Screen Font][psf2-format] 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-width, anti-aliased, or shaped text.
