**Note**: The Flutter team is currently trialing the use of [Gemini Code
Assist for
GitHub](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/review-github-code).
Comments from the `gemini-code-assist` bot should not be taken as
authoritative feedback from the Flutter team. If you find its comments
useful you can update your code accordingly, but if you are unsure or
disagree with the feedback, please feel free to wait for a Flutter team
member's review for guidance on which automated comments should be
addressed.

This file contains Unicode characters that might be confused with other characters. If you think that this is intentional, you can safely ignore this warning. Use the Escape button to reveal them.

Flutter tests run via the `flutter test` command have access to several readily available test fonts, including [FlutterTest](#the-fluttertest-test-font) and [Ahem](https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/Fonts/Ahem/).
In tests, if [`fontFamily`](https://master-api.flutter.dev/flutter/painting/TextStyle/fontFamily.html) isn't specified or the specified font families are not available, the default test font `FlutterTest` will be used.
If you wish to use a custom font in tests, check out the [`FontLoader`](https://master-api.flutter.dev/flutter/services/FontLoader-class.html) class, and [this example](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/6ec444506375cfa94535a45c2320e01094c295e0/packages/flutter/test/material/icons_test.dart#L149-L172).
## The `FlutterTest` test font
### Font Metrics (in design units)
| | Ascent | Descent | Line Gap (Leading) | Units Per EM | Underline Position |
| :-- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| `FlutterTest` | 768 (0.75 em) above the baseline | 256 (0.25 em) below the baseline | 0 | 1024 | 146 under the baseline |
| `Ahem` | 800 (0.8 em) above the baseline | 200 (0.2 em) below the baseline | 0 | 1000 | 142 under the baseline |
The `FlutterTest` font's `1024 units-per-em` is a power of 2, making it less likely to introduce precision loss in metrics calculations, when used as a divisor.
Thanks to that, the `FlutterTest` font generally provides more precise and font-engine-agnostic font/glyph metrics than `Ahem`.
**Example**
You can expect this test to pass on all platforms:
```dart
final painter = TextPainter(
text: const TextSpan(
text: 'text',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 14.0, /* "fontFamily: 'FlutterTest'" is implied */),
),
textDirection: TextDirection.ltr,
textScaleFactor: 1.0,
);
final lineMetrics = textPainer.computeLineMetrics().first;
expect(lineMetrics.height, 14.0);
expect(lineMetrics.ascent, 10.5); // 0.75em * 14.0pt
expect(lineMetrics.descent, 3.5); // 0.25em * 14.0pt
// 'text' is 4 glyphs. Most glyphs are as wide as they are tall.
expect(lineMetrics.width, 14.0 * 4);
```
While with the `Ahem` font you would get [slightly different metrics on different platforms](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/62819), since they use different font engines to scale the font.
### Glyphs
(images to be added)
The font covers most types of glyphs defined in the `Ahem` font.
| Square | Ascent Flushed | Descent Flushed | .notdef |
| :---: | :----: | :----: | :----: |
| a box that fills the em square | the **Square** glyph but without the part above the baseline | the **Square** glyph but without the part below the baseline | a hollow box |
The remaining glyphs (for example, **Full Advance**, **1/2 Advance**) are defined with no outlines in the glyph, with different x-advances.
### Glyph Mapping
Unmapped codepoints will be mapped to the **.notdef** glyph in the test environment.

### Caveats
To disable FreeType auto-hinter, the family name defined within the font is not `FlutterTest` but `MingLiU`. This typically doesn't affect framework tests as the font is registered under the name `FlutterTest`.
### Adding more Codepoints/Glyphs to the `FlutterTest` Font
The `FlutterTest` font is generated by [this script](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/main/engine/src/flutter/tools/gen_test_font.py).
