Yes, there have been changes to font rendering and APIs in SwiftUI. A new text renderer API has been introduced, which enables a whole new level of visual effects and playful animations. This API allows for more customization in how text is drawn, providing new possibilities for animations and visual effects. You can learn more about this in the Platforms State of the Union session.
Additionally, SwiftUI now supports rich text editing capabilities. By changing the binding of your text editor's text from a string to an attributed string, you can enable rich text editing with customizable styling. This is discussed in the Code-along: Cook up a rich text experience in SwiftUI with AttributedString session.
