Fixed stuff to make it work with MSVC 2019, Freetype 2.11.0, and Vulkan SDK 1.2.198.0.
Text is rendered directly from font outlines.
You need to clone (checkout) the repository using the --recurse-submodules option.
AMD Ryzen 5600X + GTX 1060: one CPU core at limit (90% of time spent in append_text() building the instance buffer from the raw text input string), GPU usage around 15% (debug mode). 600+ fps in debug mode, 4000+ fps in release mode.
Works, but is it worth the additional CPU and GPU load?
