There's several different approaches you could take, but I'd probably suggest macroquad as the easiest. I've also used minifb for windowing + a drawing library like raqote or tiny-skia.

You may specify font family by adding a line font = "Source Sans Pro" into a config file (path is $HOME/.config/yofi/yofi.config). Though, perhaps you meant "Source Code Pro" which is unfortunately broken in third-party rendering library. You may specify font size similarly with font_size = 12 line, though the binary from the last release doesn't support it yet, so you either may built yofi from master (as simple as cargo b --release), or wait for the next release (I think it will be on this week).

Reminds me of BGRABitmap from Lazarus/FreePascal.
https://github.com/bgrabitmap/bgracontrols
(BGRAControls contains the BGRABitmap components).
It's sad Lazarus/FreePascal doesn't get much play, because high quality libraries like this have existed for years for it and it seems to not get much traction.
