Thank you a lot for looking into this! As mentioned, I am using Emacs to
simulate interactions that would take place if the user pressed certain
keys, and so I would also like to show the effects of continuous typing
in the buffer, i.e., incrementally adding or even removing text, like a
normal interaction that would take place in the minibuffer.

A condensed example of this is given in #34957, where "hello" is
followed by " there!". In my actual application, these texts are not
added in blocked chunks, but continuously letter by letter, and I can
easily do this also with a larger font by remapping the default face, in
Emacs versions before 28.2, by simply inserting the intended letters in
the minibuffer. Is there a way to implement this also in later versions
so that the program remains simple and the minibuffer is fully visible?

Thank you a lot!
Markus
