Summary

  • Add buttonSetFontFamily(widget, family) to the public perry/ui API and native dispatch.
  • On macOS, convert the button's current NSFont to the requested family. This retains its size and weight and applies the font to the attributed title without discarding a previously set title color.
  • Support CSS font family on Web. Keep cross-platform calls linkable with accurately marked native stubs elsewhere; ArkTS emits a font family modifier for literal values.
  • Document the setter and update the generated styling and FFI support matrices.

Closes #10858.

Validation

  • cargo test -p perry-ui-macos --test native_button_font_family -- --nocapture (passes with a bold 17pt source font, title color, and borderless button)
  • cargo test -p perry-ui-test --test ffi_parity (8 passed)
  • cargo run -p perry-ui --bin styling-matrix -- --check (49 rows, 8 platforms)
  • cargo fmt --all --check and git diff --check
  • Built a TypeScript fixture calling buttonSetFontFamily into a macOS app bundle with PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added button font-family styling support on macOS and Web.
    • Font size and weight are preserved when changing a macOS button’s font family.
    • Attributed title colors remain intact after the font change.
    • Added public type definitions for the new button styling API.
  • Documentation

    • Documented button font-family behavior and platform support in the UI guides and styling matrix.
  • Tests

    • Added macOS coverage for font family, weight, size, color preservation, and related button styling behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds buttonSetFontFamily for macOS and Web. macOS preserves the button font size, weight, and attributed-title color. Other platforms expose stub FFI entry points. Code generation, dispatch, tests, support matrices, types, and documentation are updated.

Adds the buttonSetFontFamily declaration and routes it to the platform runtime with a widget and string argument. Web applies the CSS font-family value.

macOS converts the current button font to the requested family and reapplies it to the attributed title. Web updates the element style. Other platforms add no-op FFI stubs.
Validation and platform support
crates/perry-ui-macos/tests/native_button_font_family.rs, crates/perry-ui-macos/Cargo.toml, crates/perry-ui-test/src/features/interaction.rs, crates/perry-ui/src/styling_matrix.rs
Adds macOS integration checks for family, size, weight, color, borderless mode, and text-widget behavior. Records macOS and Web as wired and other platforms as stubbed.
Documentation and changelog
docs/src/ui/widgets.md, docs/src/ui/styling-matrix.md, changelog.d/10976-button-font-family.md
Documents the setter and updates styling support counts and platform status.

The feature is implemented, but its Web documentation and Button API index are incomplete, and a title-color regression could evade the new native test. Address these small issues before merging where practical.

Assert the original title color value.

The test only checks that a color attribute exists. An implementation that replaces (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) with another non-null color passes. Read the NSColor components and compare them with the values set on Line 22.

On macOS, `buttonSetFontFamily(button, "Menlo")` changes the title font while
retaining its size and weight; it also works after `buttonSetTextColor`.

Add buttonSetFontFamily to the Helpers list.

The Button section documents the API but omits it from the Helpers list on lines 41-43. Add it to keep the public API index complete.

Remove the macOS-only platform claim.

Web also implements buttonSetFontFamily. The current declaration tells Web users that the API is unavailable.

Landed on main in merge train 256 (#11018, v0.5.1638), main f5cfbff882.

Carried at head 59a1008187. The landed tree is byte-identical to the validated train tree (9b108dd3c9), and CI on the train head passed every job except the known public-baseline lint step: all 6 gap shards, cargo-test, e2e-scoped, gc-stress, check, warnings and security-audit green.

Trains rebase-merge, so commits get new SHAs and GitHub cannot mark this PR merged. Closed as landed.
