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.
Not to be too negative, but this seems quite inaccessible to anyone using a screen reader or other non-visual output device. Unlike with SVGs or images, there seems to be no way to provide an alternative representation?
Similar to the inaccessibility of icon fonts, but those tend to use private use character codes rather than actual readable text; reading the example page [1] with a screen reader is... not a great experience.

I was hoping that would be the case!
Unfortunately, the bitmap font manipulation tools I'm using (monobit¹ and BitsNPicas²) do not support putting more than one strike into an OpenType wrapper. If there's some other tool that can do that assembly, I'd like to hear about it.
