It only works for DirectX, OpenGL, Metal, Vulkan: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/overlay It also uses heuristics to find the right window that can lead to issues. Not a common problem, but one I unfortunately ran into :(

What other rendering backend options are there even these days?

Electron and other HTML runtimes are what I had in mind. I’m not sure what renderer they use, but it’s something else.

Yeah this. Once you get to something more than plain English, it means pulling in HarfBuzz

If you want visually pleasing results, even English needs layout processes like kerning.

Feel free to fork at your convenience!

Would have been more accurate.
