For the first part, there's too much surface area to cover but it sounds like one good starting point would be to learn a bit more about how low(ish) level graphics programming works in the context of rust. I think learning-wgpu will get you to the "I have a window and I can draw things to it, and I actually understand how my data turns into pixels" stage, which is super cool and performant if you've never dived lower than ui frameworks before.

Maybe you can look at Neovide's code?

ab_glyph is at the same level to DirectWrite/uniscribe where you hand it a character, and it hands you back a rasterized glyph - it's on you on how to draw it.

Glium and ash provide low level access to different common graphics api's. I'm sure there's a good directx-11/12 bindings as well but I'm unfamiliar with what people use.

For documentation/guidance on what implementing a text editor might look like. Egui recently release syntax highlighting support. You could either start using egui and see how it performs for you, or just use its source code as a reference. It and other UI libraries get very abstracted very quickly though. https://github.com/emilk/egui
