Overall work captured in: #585 see feat/text-refactor for more details/progress.

Note might not cover all requested features, however this ticket is raised as a tracker for "what needs to be done" for Text at this stage.

First wave of text renderer refactors is added in #585.

Done:

• Reduction of variable assignments (excessive const usage) to lower GC pressure
• Removal of intermediate TrState duplication
• Single Canvas Text generation function and node to texture assignment for Canvas Text. Goal would be get closer to L2 Canvas Text performance
• Wrong wrapping: Wrong wrapping with contain width and text too long #268
• Last trailing space Last trailing space seems to be trimmed from a text string #478
• Text node width incorrect Width of text node with word wrapping not correct when text is smaller than word wrapping width #455 (might be linked to Last trailing space seems to be trimmed from a text string #478)
