Deprecate textScaleFactor in favor of TextScaler

In preparation for adopting the Android 14 nonlinear font scaling feature, all occurrences of textScaleFactor in the Flutter framework have been deprecated and replaced by TextScaler.

Many platforms allow users to scale textual contents up or down globally in system preferences. In the past, the scaling strategy was captured as a single double value named textScaleFactor, as text scaling was proportional: scaledFontSize = textScaleFactor x unScaledFontSize. For example, when textScaleFactor is 2.0 and the developer-specified font size is 14.0, the actual font size is 2.0 x 14.0 = 28.0.

With the introduction of Android 14 nonlinear font scaling, larger text gets scaled at a lesser rate as compared to smaller text, to prevent excessive scaling of text that is already large. The textScaleFactor scalar value used by "proportional" scaling is not enough to represent this new scaling strategy. The Replaces textScaleFactor with TextScaler pull request introduced a new class TextScaler to replace textScaleFactor in preparation for this new feature. Nonlinear text scaling is introduced in a different pull request.

Introducing a new interface TextScaler, which represents a text scaling strategy.

abstract class TextScaler { 
  double scale(double fontSize);
  double get textScaleFactor; // Deprecated. 
}

Use the scale method to scale font sizes instead of textScaleFactor. The textScaleFactor getter provides an estimated textScaleFactor value, it is for backward compatibility purposes and is already marked as deprecated, and will be removed in a future version of Flutter.

The new class has replaced double textScaleFactor (double textScaleFactor -> TextScaler textScaler), in the following APIs:

Widgets provided by the Flutter framework are already migrated. Migration is needed only if you're using any of the deprecated symbols listed in the previous tables.

Before:

abstract class _MyCustomPaintDelegate { 
  void paint(PaintingContext context, Offset offset, double textScaleFactor) { 
  }
}

After:

abstract class _MyCustomPaintDelegate { 
  void paint(PaintingContext context, Offset offset, TextScaler textScaler) { 
  }
}

If you're not currently using textScaleFactor directly, but rather passing it to a different API that receives a textScaleFactor, and the receiver API has already been migrated, then it's relatively straightforward:

Before:

RichText( 
  textScaleFactor: MediaQuery.textScaleFactorOf(context),
  ...
)

After:

RichText( 
  textScaler: MediaQuery.textScalerOf(context),
  ...
)

If the API that provides textScaleFactor hasn't been migrated, consider waiting for the migrated version.

If you wish to compute the scaled font size yourself, use TextScaler.scale instead of the * binary operator:

Before:

final scaledFontSize = textStyle.fontSize * MediaQuery.textScaleFactorOf(context);

After:

final scaledFontSize = MediaQuery.textScalerOf(context).scale(textStyle.fontSize);

If you are using textScaleFactor to scale dimensions that are not font sizes, there are no generic rules for migrating the code to nonlinear scaling, and it might require the UI to be implemented differently. Reusing the MyTooltipBoxexample:

MyTooltipBox( 
  size: chatBoxSize * textScaleFactor,
  child: RichText(..., style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20)),
)

You could choose to use the "effective" text scale factor by applying the TextScaler on the font size 20: chatBoxSize * textScaler.scale(20) / 20, or redesign the UI and let the widget assume its own intrinsic size.

To override the existing TextScaler used in a widget subtree, override the MediaQuery like so:

Before:

MediaQuery( 
  data: MediaQuery.of(context).copyWith(textScaleFactor: 2.0),
  child: child,
)

After:

MediaQuery( 
  data: MediaQuery.of(context).copyWith(textScaler: _myCustomTextScaler),
  child: child,
)

However, it's rarely needed to create a custom TextScaler subclass. MediaQuery.withNoTextScaling (which creates a widget that disables text scaling altogether for its child subtree), and MediaQuery.withClampedTextScaling (which creates a widget that restricts the scaled font size to within the range [minScaleFactor * fontSize, maxScaleFactor * fontSize]), are convenience methods that cover common cases where the text scaling strategy needs to be overridden.

Disabling Text Scaling For Icon Fonts

Before:

MediaQuery(
  data: MediaQuery.of(context).copyWith(textScaleFactor: 1.0),
  child: IconTheme(
    data: ..,
    child: icon,
  ),
)

After:

MediaQuery.withNoTextScaling(
  child: IconTheme(
    data: ...
    child: icon,
  ),
)

Preventing Contents From Overscaling

Before:

final mediaQueryData = MediaQuery.of(context);
MediaQuery(
  data: mediaQueryData.copyWith(textScaleFactor: math.min(mediaQueryData.textScaleFactor, _kMaxTitleTextScaleFactor),
  child: child,
)

After:

MediaQuery.withClampedTextScaling(
  maxScaleFactor: _kMaxTitleTextScaleFactor,
  child: title,
)

Disabling Nonlinear Text Scaling

If you want to temporarily opt-out of nonlinear text scaling on Android 14 until your app is fully migrated, put a modified MediaQuery at the top of your app's widget tree:

runApp(
  Builder(builder: (context) {
    final mediaQueryData = MediaQuery.of(context);
    final mediaQueryDataWithLinearTextScaling = mediaQueryData
      .copyWith(textScaler: TextScaler.linear(mediaQueryData.textScaler.textScaleFactor));
    return MediaQuery(data: mediaQueryDataWithLinearTextScaling, child: realWidgetTree);
  }),
);

This trick uses the deprecated textScaleFactor API and will stop working once it's removed from the Flutter API.
