+Renders a 2D text overlay on top of an existing 3D scene. The example implements a text overlay class with separate descriptor sets, layouts, pipelines and render pass to detach it from the rendering of the scene. The font is generated by loading glyph data from a [stb font file](http://nothings.org/stb/font/) into a buffer that's copied to the font image.
