Multi-line and tabbed strings drawn with a scaleMultiplier != 1 overlapped
or misaligned because the font code advanced newlines and tabs by the
unscaled font height/tab width -- most visible in FRED's viewport labels
now that they honor an adjustable font scale.
Scale the newline and tab advance in both the rendering and measurement
paths of each backend: the NVG path (gr_string and NVGFont::getStringSize)
and the VFNT path (gr_string_old and VFNTFont::getStringSize), which also
gains tab handling. The tab width is hoisted onto the shared FSFont base
so both backends share it.
While here, pass the FSFont wrapper to gr_string_old instead of a bag of
scalars, make its font pointer const, and consolidate the
get_char_width_old externs into a single declaration in font_internal.h.

1. Change `ai_profile_lookup` and `multi_xfer_lookup` to use `const char *`, since all the other lookup functions do
2. Remove several unneeded `const_cast`s, some of which are now made possible by the non-const `data()` overload in C++17
3. Change `campaign_link` to use `const char*`
4. Use better string management in `test::FSTestFixture::init_cmdline()`
* Add option to set a font size multiplier for ttf fonts
* remove the option if we have no scaling fonts
* Clang the conquerer strikes again
* Update XSTRs
* clang
* Clarify comments
This adds proper Unicode support by allowing the parse system to read
UTF-8 encoded files. The new mode is controlled by a mod option which
allows older mods to continue using the legacy text encoding.
That option changes the behavior of several systems in FSO. It disallows
the usage of Volition fonts since they don't support Unicode encoding
and changes a few usages of special characters to their unicode
counterparts of generic rendering solutions.
This fixes#1415.
Since Windows line endings include this character it needs to be ignored
since the text rendering would display it as an unknown character
otherwise.
This was reported by @AxemP.
This allows to use standard TrueType Fonts for text rendering in FSO. It uses the NanoVG library which provides the ability of drawing 2D shapes. This library is used for most 2D operations now and can also be used directly by using the PathRenderer class.
