Description

It would be great to have an example of using [cosmic-text](https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text) with Vello. This would be super-helpful for [Blitz](https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz) to get high quality text layout / rendering running on top Vello Long term hopfully [parley](https://github.com/dfrg/parley) will also be an option, but it seems that at it isn't ready yet in that it is lacking both documentation and a crates.io release so for the time being cosmic-text is looking like the best option.

@dfrg I believe you had this working. Would you be willing to publish it as an example?
