@fourjs/text — bitmap text at §56's MVP tier.

Three pieces, each usable on its own:

1. BUILTIN_FONT — a dependency-free 6 × 12 monospace face covering printable ASCII, with its pixels in source, plus createBitmapFont, the constructor any other face goes through (bitmap-font.ts).
2. buildGlyphAtlas — that face packed into one RGBA8 buffer plus a uv table (glyph-atlas.ts).
3. layoutText — a string laid out against an atlas as world-space quads (text-layout.ts).

import { buildGlyphAtlas } from "fourJS/text";
import { Texture } from "fourJS/render";
import { UnlitMaterial } from "fourJS/materials";
import { Text } from "fourJS"; // not this subpath — see below

const atlas = buildGlyphAtlas();
const font = new Texture({ ...atlas, filter: "nearest" });
const ink = new UnlitMaterial({ map: font, transparent: true });
const label = new Text(atlas, ink, { text: "Motor 42", size: 0.25 });

This package produces data, never nodes. Its dependencies are core, math, and geometry (plan §3.1, frozen) — not render, not materials, not scene — so it cannot construct a Texture, a material, or a Text node, and it does not try. fourJS/text re-exports this barrel; Text is not on it. The atlas is emitted in exactly the shape @fourjs/render's TextureSource accepts, and the layout in the shape a quad builder wants; the package that owns nodes assembles the two. See glyph-atlas.ts for why that seam is structural rather than an import.

The package that owns nodes is the umbrella fourJS, since 2026-08-13 (R-28): new Text(atlas, material, { text, size }) is a §49 Renderable that draws a whole string as one geometry over one atlas material. This package is still what computes where the glyphs go. layoutText remains public for callers who want the quads without a node.
