Is it easily embeddable yet?
I’ve tried several times over the last years to use it instead of WebKitGTK, I’ve tried both servo-embedding-example [1] and servo-shell [2] and they were a pain to set up. I can compile servo and make it load a URL, but that’s it.

I also tried the examples in the WebRender crate, several times, and I never get any kind of text rendered, just rectangles. Due to lacking documentation I’m not sure whether I should be seeing text or not, but drawing rectangles is something I can do on my own with OpenGL or heck, even poking [64] the pixels myself!

hat documented somewhere?
Anyhow, every time I try again I end up wasting several hours, so I’m still using WebKit for my application prototypes. Some of my use cases do not require a full browser engine (thus trying out WebRender), the most important part is text layout and I’m very interested in using Pathfinder [3], hopefully from a higher-level API like libservo or WebRender.
