gfx_glyph
Fast GPU cached text rendering using gfx-rs & rusttype.
Makes use of three kinds of caching to optimise frame performance.
- Caching of glyph positioning output to avoid repeated cost of identical text rendering on sequential frames.
- Caches draw calculations to avoid repeated cost of identical text rendering on sequential frames.
- Uses rusttype's built-in GPU cache logic to maintain a GPU texture of rendered glyphs.

Limitations
The current implementation only supports OpenGL 3.0 or later. But other rendering languages (that are supported by gfx) should be easy enough to add. Send in your PRs!
