This is fantastic! When I was fixing view/layer leaks, I saw lots of
other leaks, and the word "font" certainly caught my attention. :) I
remember thinking, "I hope we [the community] will fix all these next,
but let me first focus on the biggest leak [on my system]".
So, I am super-happy someone is doing more! The NS port badly needs
some serious love, or replacement. Its pixelated tool bar icons with
white background in dark theme, barely responsive C-g, memory leaks,
freezes, and crashes... scream "unmaintained". That is where we are.
On my machine, NS often freezes, even `emacs -Q', when closing a frame
with the mouse, using the standard WM "red circle" button. I have no
reproducer, unfortunately. But, as a result, I close frames strictly
with the keyboard, after losing edits multiple times. Similarly, when
native compilation is doing its thing, Emacs is unusable because C-g is
99% ignored, even worse than normal, so I wait. The list goes on...
So, thank you for improving the NS port!
