Cosmic: The Road to Alpha
Bit of a side note, but COSMIC depends on the rustybuzz text shaper which is deprecated: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz/issues/74. There was some work underway to bring it up to sync with the latest harfbuzz and then handing over ownership to the harfbuzz team, but this seems to have fizzled out.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Looking for good sources on incremental rewrites to Rust of portions of a C++ codebase. Is this a feasible approach?

Is There An Algorithm To How Computer Cursors Highlight Text?
harfbuzz is a popular library for text rendering. You may also want to check out rustybuzz, a small subset of harfbuzz ported to Rust with pretty great documentation.

Speedy2D: Easy-to-use library for graphics, text, and input events
Yeah Allsorts looks interesting, and rustybuzz is another option. I haven’t tried either yet, though.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (40/2021)!
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.

Yofi A Minimalistic Application Launcher For
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).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rustybuzz and raqote you can also consider the following projects:
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
tiny-skia - A tiny Skia subset ported to Rust
Speedy2D - Rust library for hardware accelerated drawing of 2D shapes, images, and text, with an easy to use API.
pixie - Full-featured 2d graphics library for Nim.
swash - Font introspection, complex text shaping and glyph rendering.
pixie-python - Full-featured 2D graphics library for Python.
allsorts - Font parser, shaping engine, and subsetter implemented in Rust
macroquad - Cross-platform game engine in Rust.
ab-glyph - Rust API for loading, scaling, positioning and rasterizing OpenType font glyphs
