Extract glyph information from font data, and translate the
    outline curves to flattened paths or tessellated polygons. The converted
    data is returned as a 'data.frame' in easy-to-plot format.

Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native
    'match' function. Also offers fuzzy text search based on various string
     distance measures. Can calculate various string distances based on edits
    (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q-
    gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An
    implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between
    character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer
    vectors representing generic sequences. This package is built for speed and
    runs in parallel by using 'openMP'. An API for C or C++ is exposed as well.

Provides an extendable, performant and multithreaded 'alt-string' implementation backed by 'C++' vectors and strings.

Pass named and unnamed character vectors into specified positions
    in strings. This represents an attempt to replicate some of python's string
    formatting.

A collection of character string/text/natural language
    processing tools for pattern searching (e.g., with 'Java'-like regular
    expressions or the 'Unicode' collation algorithm), random string generation,
    case mapping, string transliteration, concatenation, sorting, padding,
    wrapping, Unicode normalisation, date-time formatting and parsing,
    and many more. They are fast, consistent, convenient, and -
    thanks to 'ICU' (International Components for Unicode) -
    portable across all locales and platforms. Documentation about 'stringi' is
    provided via its website at <https://stringi.gagolewski.com/> and
    the paper by Gagolewski (2022, <doi:10.18637/jss.v103.i02>).

Performs complex string operations compactly and efficiently. Supports string interpolation jointly with over 50 string operations. Also enhances regular string functions (like grep() and co). See an introduction at <https://lrberge.github.io/stringmagic/>.
