Best way to render text?

Start with a texture containing all the glyphs (generated by stb truetype for example). Then with instanced rendering you can send a single buffer full of attribute data for each instance, including whatever matrices are needed to "crop" out each character from the texture. This approach is very dynamic; you can change what text you render by just updating the attribute data; no need to create a new texture or anything.

I use this approach in paratext. Written in nim but you can get the gist of it without knowing the language.
