Description
This pull request introduces a new
TextBlockcontrol with configurable typography, wrapping behavior, outline rendering, and integrated scrollbar support.The implementation includes a reusable font service for managing font instances, a
FontMetricsmodel for outline-aware measurement, and a text layout engine capable of pixel-accurate soft and hard wrapping. Rendering is optimized using line-level layout caching and per-line texture caching limited to the visible viewport.Core rendering utilities have been extended to support font surface creation, texture composition (outline and foreground passes), cropping for horizontal scroll, and line measurement helpers. The control integrates fully with the framework’s measure, arrange, and render lifecycle and properly manages SDL resource cleanup.

Motivation and Context
The framework previously lacked a dedicated, scrollable, and styleable text rendering control. This change establishes foundational text infrastructure, enabling consistent typography configuration, wrapping behavior, and scroll-aware rendering within UI layouts.
It also centralizes font management and measurement logic, reducing duplication and improving extensibility for future text-based controls.
