q5's webgpu text could utilize the q5 2d renderer's text image caching system, rendering text as images in webgpu.

I think this is a good approach because:

  • wouldn't require an external library such as OpenType, which p5 depends on
  • canvas2d uses the browser's HTML text renderer (higher quality than gpu rendering)
  • text rendering for the gpu is complex (high performance cost)

implemented in v2.4.8 but will be removed in v2.5 in favor of msdf text rendering
