That's right, now you just have to deal with open source OpenGL libraries or of course write it yourself.
Handle unicode, sub/superscripts, RTL text, typography nuances, LaTeX etc. by yourself.

Also do it in your free time because probably you won't make a living out of it.
So I totally understand why anyone would pick a browser engine where all of this is super easy to solve.
