feat(api)!: TextStyle::font_name is a string of its own - #900
Merged
Conversation
The `std::string_view` borrowed from the document that produced the style, so a style could not outlive its document and a caller could not build one with a font name, which `Text::set_style` made a real gap. It is a `std::string` now. The `.doc` and `.ppt` registries stop carrying the font names for lifetime alone, the python style getters drop the keep-alive they needed only for it, and the Java and Objective-C converters pass a font name through to C++, which refuses it as before.

The second of the three public-API changes before the major. Independent of the other two.
The change.
TextStyle::font_namewas astd::optional<std::string_view>borrowing from the document that produced the style. A style could not outlive its document, and since #895 madeTextStylean input toText::set_style, a caller could not build one with a font name safely. It is astd::optional<std::string>now.What follows from it.
.docand.pptstyle registries carried the font names only to keep the views alive; they take the resolved styles alone now. The.xlsregistry keeps its fonts, which the XF records index.font_nameis a plain read-write property.Text::set_stylerefuses it as before, and the Swift test that expects that still passes.string_viewoverload goes, having no caller left.Verified. 908 tests across the document, html, legacy MS, markdown, odf and ooxml suites pass, with the C++ refusal of a font name pinned in
document_edit_test. Every html output page is byte-identical to the reference in both corpora. JUnit 63 and pytest 83 pass, python sets and reads a font name, and the macOS Apple slice built for both archs withswift testpassing. The thirteen touched translation units are clean under Homebrew clang-Wall -Wextra -Werror.Changelog entry added, marked breaking.
