Render text with DWriteCore
DWriteCore is the Windows App SDK implementation of DirectWrite (DirectWrite is the DirectX API for high-quality text rendering, resolution-independent outline fonts, and full Unicode text and layout support).
DWriteCore provides access to all current DirectWrite features for text rendering, including a device-independent text layout system, hardware-accelerated text, multi-format text, and wide language support.
For more details about DWriteCore—including guidance for setting up your development environment, and code examples for programming with it—see DWriteCore overview in the DirectWrite documentation.
