Lukas WirthandMax Brunsfeld 9e6e14160c gpui: Support dynamic font installation (#63498)
Browser applications cannot rely on operating-system font discovery, but
embedding comprehensive emoji and CJK fonts makes the initial
WebAssembly payload prohibitively large. GPUI previously offered no
structured way to learn that fallback was exhausted, and adding a font
at runtime left descriptor and line-layout caches shaped against the old
font database.

This change lets WGPU text systems report unresolved grapheme clusters
through `App::on_missing_glyphs`. GPUI invokes one replaceable
application callback after shaping, carrying each complete grapheme and
whether its source run is proportional or monospace. Reports are
deduplicated and delivered through a bounded, nonblocking channel;
reporting remains disabled until the callback is installed, and queued
reports from an earlier font generation are discarded.

Successful font installation now advances a font generation. GPUI clears
descriptor and platform family resolution, reuses stable font IDs for
unchanged faces while refreshing their fallback chains, and invalidates
each window's current and previous line-layout caches when it observes
the new generation. This supplies the GPUI half of an on-demand web font
loader; fetching and selecting font assets remains application-owned.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
