This is in preparation to move constraint off the GPU to simplify our
shaders, instead we only need to constrain once at raster time and never
again.
This also significantly reworks the freetype renderGlyph function to be
generally much cleaner and more straightforward.
This commit doesn't actually apply the constraints to anything yet, that
will be in following commits.
This fixes an issue where Ghostty would not build against the macOS 15.5 SDK.
What was happening was that Zig was adding its embedded libc paths to
the clang command line, which included old headers that were
incompatible with the latest (macOS 15.5) SDK. Ghostty was adding the
newer paths but they were being overridden by the embedded libc paths.
The reason this was happening is because Zig was using its own logic to
find the libc paths and this was colliding with the paths we were
setting manually. To fix this, we now use a `libc.txt` file that
explicitly tells Zig where to find libc, and we base this on our own SDK
search logic.
We don't currently support rendering SVG glyphs so they should be
ignored when loading. Additionally, the check for whether a glyph is
colored has been simplified by just checking the pixel mode of the
rendered bitmap.
This commit also fixes a bug caused by calling the color check inside of
`renderGlyph`, which caused the bitmap to be freed creating a chance for
memory corruption and garbled glyphs.
Lazy dependencies are only fetched if the build script would actually
reach a usage of that dependency at runtime (when the `lazyDependency`
function is called). This can save a lot of network traffic, disk uage,
and time because we don't have to fetch and build dependencies that we
don't actually need.
Prior to this commit, Ghostty fetched almost everything for all
platforms and configurations all the time. This commit reverses that to
fetching almost nothing until it's actually needed.
There are very little downsides to doing this[1]. One downside is `zig
build --fetch` doesn't fetch lazy dependencies, but we don't rely on
this command for packaging and suggest using our custom shell script
that downloads a cached list of URLs (`build.zig.zon.txt`).
This commit doesn't cover 100% of dependencies, since some provide no
benefit to make lazy while the complexity to make them lazy is higher
(in code style typically).
Conversely, some simple dependencies are marked lazy even if they're
almost always needed if they don't introduce any real complexity to the
code, because there is very little downside to do so.

This adds a new script `update-mirror.sh` which generates the proper
blob format for R2 (or any blob storage) to mirror all of our
dependencies.
It doesn't automate updating build.zig.zon but on an ongoing basis this
should be easy to do manually, and we can strive to automate it in the
future.
I omitted iTerm2 color themes because we auto-update that via CI and
updating all of the machinery to send it to our mirror and so on is a
pain. Additionally, this doesn't mirror transitive dependencies because
Zig doesn't have a way to fetch those from a mirror instead (unless you
pre-generate a full cache like packagers but that's not practical for
day to day development).
It's hugely beneficial just to get most of our dependencies mirrored.
Unify grid metrics calculations by relying on shared logic mostly based
on values directly from the font tables, this deduplicates a lot of code
and gives us more control over how we interpret various metrics.
Also separate metrics for underlined, strikethrough, and overline
thickness and position, and box drawing thickness, so that they can
individually be adjusted as the user desires.
This gets `zig build -Dtarget=aarch64-ios` working. By "working" I mean
it produces an object file without compiler errors. However, the object
file certainly isn't useful since it uses a number of features that will
not work in the iOS sandbox.
This is just an experiment more than anything to see how hard it would be to
get libghostty working within iOS to render a terminal. Note iOS doesn't
support ptys so this wouldn't be a true on-device terminal. The
challenge right now is to just get a terminal rendering (not usable).
Makes progress getting "zig build test" to work on windows. Mostly
fixed issues around build configuration and added some branches throughout
the Zig code to return/throw errors for unimplemented parts.
I also added an initial implementation for getting the home dir.
* 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.
Not as straightforward as it sounds, but not hard either:
* Read OS/2 sfnt tables from TrueType fonts
* Calculate strikethrough position/thickness (prefer font-advertised if possible, calculate if not)
* Plumb the SGR code through the terminal state -- does not increase cell memory size
* Modify the shader to support it
The shaders are getting pretty nasty after this... there's tons of room for improvement. I chose to follow the existing shader style for this to keep it straightforward but will likely soon refactor the shaders.
