Fixes#143
There were multiple issues with the previous calculation. First, we
expected dash width COULD be negative and protected against it, but our
dash width calculation type was unsigned! With the proper font metrics,
this led to an underflow safey panic.
Second, as part of the dash width calculation, we are tryign to downstep
the size of the gaps so we can try to fit dashes within a cell. But we
were not using those adjusted gap sizes. With the proper font metrics,
this could lead to an assertion failure seen in #143.
This fixes the calculations. They produce the same numbers, but do so in
a more Zig-idiomatic way while fixing the above two issues.
When font shaping grapheme clusters, we erroneously used the font index
of a font that only matches the first codepoint in the cell. This led to the
combining characters being [usually] unknown and rendering as boxes.
For a grapheme, we must find a font face that has a glyph for _all codepoints_
in the grapheme.
This also fixes an issue where we now properly render the unicode replacement
character if we can't find a font satisfying a codepoint.
* font: disable default font features for Menlo and Monaco
Both of these fonts have a default ligature on "fi" which makes terminal
rendering super ugly. The easiest thing to do is special-case these
fonts and disable ligatures. It appears other terminals do the same
thing.
Fontconfig in particular appears unsafe to initialize multiple times.
Font discovery is a singleton object in an application and only ever
accessed from the main thread so we can work around this by only
initializing and caching the font discovery mechanism exactly once on
the app singleton.
Font metrics realistically should be integral. Cell widths, cell
heights, etc. do not make sense to be floats, since our grid is
integral. There is no such thing as a "half cell" (or any point).
The reason we historically had these all as f32 is simplicity mixed
with history. OpenGL APIs and shaders all use f32 for their values, we
originally only supported OpenGL, and all the font rendering used to be
directly in the renderer code (like... a year+ ago).
When we refactored the font metrics calculation to its own system and
also added additional renderers like Metal (which use f64, not f32), we
never updated anything. We just kept metrics as f32 and casted
everywhere.
With CoreText and #177 this finally reared its ugly head. By forgetting
a simple rounding on cell metric calculation, our integral renderers
(sprite fonts) were off by 1 pixel compared to the GPU renderers.
Insidious.
Let's represent font metrics with the types that actually make sense: a
cell width/height, etc. is _integral_. When we get to the GPU, we now
cast to floats. We also cast to floats whenever we're doing more precise
math (i.e. mouse offset calculation). In this case, we're only
converting to floats from a integral type which is going to be much
safer and less prone to uncertain rounding than converting to an int
from a float type.
