FreeType’s FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap mutates the FT_Glyph by allocating a new
glyph object and overwriting the input pointer. This creates a risk of
memory leaks if the old glyph isn’t released or if ownership is unclear.
To avoid this, we now store the glyph in a UniqueFTGlyph and explicitly
pass it by reference to FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap. After the mutation,
ownership continues to reside in the smart pointer, and cleanup is
guaranteed even in error branches.
For temporary glyphs (e.g., strokes), we still manually call
FT_Done_Glyph, since they are not managed by UniqueFTGlyph. These
changes ensure all glyph memory is correctly released and reduce the
need for repetitive error-path cleanup code.
Replace premade bitmap fonts with FreeType2 and dynamic texture atlas.
Switched from static, premade bitmap fonts to runtime-generated glyphs using FreeType2.
Glyphs are rendered on demand into a dynamic texture atlas, improving scalability,
font quality, and support for internationalization.
Currently using RGBA format for compatibility across all render
paths while initial support for R8_UNORM is being added.
This prepares for future optimizations in VRAM and performance
Includes groundwork for gamma-corrected blending and future swizzling support.
Avoid cases of filenames
Update years in terms and other legal(ish) documents
Don't update years in license headers, since change is not meaningful
Will add linter rule in seperate commit
Happy recompiling everyone!

Differential Revision: D2620
This was SVN commit r27786.
Replace unifont with CFont and CFontManager, since the h_mgr interface
was
needlessly inconvenient.
Load the font textures through CTextureManager, to support dynamic
reloading (e.g. when resetting GL state - see #741).
Add CFontMetrics as a convenient wrapper for code that just wants to
measure text.
Fixes#1117.
This was SVN commit r14016.
