Text Gallery

text-gallery demonstrates the text rendering capabilities of the library. The demo combines framed panels, wrapped paragraphs, mixed-width Unicode text, animated bitmap-font titles, and small colored footer prompts in one interactive terminal application.

It provides a compact overview of how structured text layouts, decorative titles, and styled UI elements can be composed inside a terminal interface.
