String text  = ... // the text to render
Graphics2D g = ... // a graphics context to render to
int originX  = ... // x-coordinate of first character
int originY  = ... // y-coordinate of text baseline

Ezo.regular();                                 // get a font instance
   .renderer((x, y) -> g.fillRect(x, y, 1, 1)) // define a plotter
   .locate(originX, originY)                   // position the text
   .renderString(text);                        // render the text
