wgpu_glyph VS wgpu-text - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 27 Mar 2022
wgpu-text is similar to wgpu_glyph but simpler. It provides basic text rendering and is still being worked on for new features.

WebGPU – All of the cores, none of the canvas
It won't live in WebGPU itself, but I do expect to start to see more third-party libraries for text. There’s already wgpu_glyph (https://github.com/hecrj/wgpu_glyph/tree/master) which uses a glyph atlas (CPU-rendered sprite map of characters), but techniques for signed-distance field fonts have come a long way too.

Does a wgpu text renderer exist for Android?
I've been searching for one all day, and wgpu_glyph is the only obvious choice, but it's incompatible with Android (and in fact crashes on startup even if all you do is add it as a dependency)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing wgpu-text and wgpu_glyph you can also consider the following projects:
rend3 - Easy to use, customizable, efficient 3D renderer library built on wgpu.
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
