Note the drawcalls could be reduced further in books by batching lines together, and I believe I'm doing that in the Android fork, but it might cause some appearance differences. Will examine later, but it's a lower priority; I think this PR is fine without that addition. |

Seems good to have a try, will push it into the next 1.2 Test3. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Tested into Test3 and books are displayed without issue.

Both SDF and classic fonts were being rendered a single character at a time, causing potentially tens of thousands of draw calls in a single frame. I've reduced it down to a single draw call per text item.
Before (18k draw calls and 30 fps):
After (500 draw calls and 60 fps):
The old multi-call path is still present and called if and when an error ever occurs in the new path.
