+
+let font: &[u8] = include_bytes!("SomeFont.ttf");
+let mut glyph_brush = GlyphBrushBuilder::using_font_bytes(font)
+    .expect("Load font")
+    .build(&glow_context);
+
+let section = Section {
+    text: "Hello glow_glyph",
+    ..Section::default() // color, position, etc
+};
+
+glyph_brush.queue(section);
+glyph_brush.queue(some_other_section);
