Except Skia is not a text renderer. Skia won't correctly position glyphs for you. It can only render glyphs for you at positions that you provide.

Your understanding of Skia may be out of date.

See SkParagraph: https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+/refs/heads/main/modules...

And the experimental SkText API: https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+/refs/heads/main/experim...
