Sublime Text has been using OpenGL/DirectUI to render text since beginning. It's insane fast with its minimap and syntax highlight.

We don’t use GPU acceleration on Windows or Linux, and only on Mac to push pixel buffers to the GPU. All compositing is done in software, and we have our own library for glyph caching.
