TextServer

Inherits: RefCounted < Object

Inherited By: TextServerExtension

A server interface for font management and text rendering.

Description

TextServer is the API backend for managing fonts and rendering text.

Note: This is a low-level API, consider using TextLine, TextParagraph, and Font classes instead.

This is an abstract class, so to get the currently active TextServer instance, use the following code:

var ts = TextServerManager.get_primary_interface()
