This commit adds back support for loading font collections, which we
lost when switching to the harfbuzz-based shaper last January. In
addition, this commit takes advantage of our new font loading library's
metadata facilities to automatically construct text.FontFaces for all
fonts within a collection. This is significantly more ergonomic for
users, and can be used to load single fonts with automatic metadata
detection as well.
I've exposed a opentype.Face.Font() method that can be used to get the
font metadata for a given face as well, though you have to type assert to
see it:
var myFace text.Face
if asOpentype, ok := myFace.(opentype.Face); ok {
myFont := asOpentype.Font()
}
The one problem with this approach is that the font variant field always
be automatically populated. Mono font detection is supported, but
other variants like SmallCaps are more complicated and may need to be
expressed differently in the future (smallcaps is a feature that any font
file can have, not necessarily a separate font file). See this [0] upstream
issue for details.
Additionally, in order to avoid import cycles, I've moved the declarations
of font attributes to package font. You can fix your code automatically to
refer to the new definitions by running the following:
gofmt -w -r 'text.FontFace -> font.FontFace' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Variant -> font.Variant' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Style -> font.Style' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Typeface -> font.Typeface' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Font -> font.Font' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Regular -> font.Regular' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Italic -> font.Italic' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Thin -> font.Thin' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.ExtraLight -> font.ExtraLight' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Light -> font.Light' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Normal -> font.Normal' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Medium -> font.Medium' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.SemiBold -> font.SemiBold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Bold -> font.Bold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.ExtraBold -> font.ExtraBold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Black -> font.Black' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Hairline -> font.Thin' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.UltraLight -> font.ExtraLight' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.DemiBold -> font.SemiBold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.UltraBold -> font.ExtraBold' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.Heavy -> font.Black' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.ExtraBlack -> font.Black+50' .
gofmt -w -r 'text.UltraBlack -> font.ExtraBlack' .
Make sure each affected file imports gioui.org/font.

This commit separates the types for interactive and non-interactive text within
package widget. widget.Selectable is used for all interactive text. widget.Label
is used for all non-interactive text. There is no longer a field on widget.Label
to provide it with a Selectable. If you want selectable text and are not relying
upon the material pacakge API, you need to create widget.Selectables instead of
widget.Labels. The material package's LabelStyle API is unchanged.

This commit upgrades our version of eliasnaur.com/font to include a color
emoji font and uses that to benchmark displaying large quantities of emoji.
As expected, this is very slow when the strings change frequently, and uses
silly amounts of memory. Future commits will work to improve this.

This commit supports rendering opentype glyphs containing bitmap data instead of
color data. In order to support returning the shaped bitmap glyphs from the Shaper's
Shape() method, it has gained a second return parameter, an op.CallOp. Adding
that CallOp immediately after or immediately before painting the returned path
will display the bitmap glyphs.
The consequences of supporting colored glyphs forced changes upon the widget APIs
for widgets that display text. Previously text always had a fixed paint material,
so we could rely upon the caller setting the material (e.g. adding a paint.ColorOp)
before painting the glyphs and everything would work. Now that we display image-
based glyphs, we end up changing the painting material to an image midway through
displaying text. This is an awkward consequence of how we currently manage the
painting material, and to work around it widgets now accept an op.CallOp that
is expected to set the proper paint material. Text widgets will use that op.CallOp
before painting text (or other paint operations) to ensure that they are painting
with the proper materials.
This, in turn, changed the APIs for laying out widget.Editor, widget.Label, and
widget.Selectable, and eliminated the need for them to accept a callback (the
callback was only really to set the colors). Dropping that callback function
allowed me to consolidate widget.Label to only need one exported Layout method,
and allowed me to unexport the PaintText, PaintCaret, and PaintSelection methods
from widget.Editor and widget.Selectable. Those methods are useless in the public
API now that they don't need to be invoked after applying a color operation.
Callers of the raw text shaper API will need to make the following changes:
- Where before you used:
var ops *op.Ops // Assume we have an operation list.
var shaper *text.Shaper // Assume we have a shaper.
var col color.NRGBA // Assume we have a text color.
var glyphs []text.Glyph // Assume we have already filled a slice of glyphs.
shape := shaper.Shape(glyphs)
paint.FillShape(ops, col, clip.Outline{Path:shape}.Op())
- Now you should do:
shape, call := shaper.Shape(glyphs)
paint.FillShape(ops, col, clip.Outline{Path:shape}.Op())
call.Add(ops)
Callers of the widget.{Label,Selectable,Editor} APIs will need to make the
following changes:
- Where before you used:
var gtx layout.Context // Assume we have an operation list.
var shaper *text.Shaper // Assume we have a shaper.
var textCol color.NRGBA // Assume we have a text color.
var selectCol color.NRGBA // Assume we have a selection color.
var ed widget.Editor // Assume we have an editor.
var sel widget.Selectable // Assume we have a selectable.
// Lay out an editor.
ed.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), func(layout.Context) layout.Dimensions {
// Paint the editor.
})
// Lay out a selectable.
sel.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), func(layout.Context) layout.Dimensions {
// Paint the selectable.
})
// Lay out an interactive label.
widget.Label{}.LayoutSelectable(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), "hello", func(layout.Context) layout.Dimensions {
// Paint the label.
})
// Lay out a non-interactive label.
widget.Label{}.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), "hello")
- Now you should do:
// Capture setting the text paint material in a macro.
textColMacro := op.Record(gtx.Ops)
paint.ColorOp{Color: textCol}.Add(gtx.Ops)
textMaterial := textColMacro.Stop()
// Capture setting the selection paint material in a macro.
selectColMacro := op.Record(gtx.Ops)
paint.ColorOp{Color: selectCol}.Add(gtx.Ops)
selectMaterial := selectColMacro.Stop()
// Lay out an editor.
ed.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), textMaterial, selectMaterial)
// Lay out a selectable.
sel.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), textMaterial, selectMaterial)
// Lay out a label (no difference between interactive and non-interactive)
widget.Label{}.Layout(gtx, shaper, text.Font{}, unit.Sp(30), "hello", textMaterial, selectMaterial)
Callers of the material package API do not need to make any changes.

This commit restructures the entire text shaping stack to enable lines of shaped text to
have non-homogeneous properties like which font face they belong to and which direction
a segment of text is going.
The text package now provides a concrete type text.Shaper which can be used to convert
strings into sequences of renderable text.Glyphs. At a high level, the API is used
like this:
// Prepare some fonts.
var collection []text.FontFace
// Make a shaper with those fonts loaded.
shaper := text.NewShaper(collection)
// Shape a string.
shaper.LayoutString(text.Parameters{
PxPerEm: fixed.I(12),
}, 0, 100, system.Locale{}, "Hello")
// Iterate the glyphs from that string.
for glyph, ok := shaper.NextGlyph(); ok; glyph, ok = shaper.NextGlyph() {
// Convert the glyph data into a path. In real uses, convert batches of glyphs
// rather than single glyphs to reduce the number of individual paths and offsets
// required to display your text.
shape := shaper.Shape([]text.Glyph{glyph})
// Offset the glyph to the position it declares within its fields. This will
// automatically handle correct bidirectional text glyph positioning.
offset := op.Offset(image.Pt(glyph.X.Floor(), int(glyph.Y))).Push(gtx.Ops)
// Create a clip area from the shape of the glyph.
area := clip.Outline{Path: shape}.Push(gtx.Ops)
// Paint whatever the current color is within the glyph's shape.
paint.PaintOp{}.Add(gtx.Ops)
area.Pop()
offset.Pop()
}
This API will transparently handle both font fallback (choosing appropriate fonts
from those loaded when the primary font doesn't contain a required glyph) and
bidirectional text (mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text). Glyphs are
iterated in order of the input runes, not their visual order, but proper use
of the provided offsets will ensure that text always displays correctly.
Thanks to Elias Naur for suggesting this glyph iterator strategy. It let us cut
through a lot of accumulated complexity from trying to match our old text APIs,
meaning that this change actually is a net negative change in lines of code.
This commit consumes the upstream github.com/go-text/typesetting/shaping API
now that my prior work is merged there, removing the need for the font/opentype/internal
package entirely.
As part of my efforts, I fuzzed both the low-level text shaping stack and the
editor widget extensively. I've committed regression tests found that way into
the appropriate testdata files to ensure the fuzzer re-checks them.

This commit adds a series of benchmarks for text rendering. They are intended
to capture the performance of static and continuously changing text within
labels and editors, and will serve as a baseline to compare the post-bidi
text stack against.
