Color was also done in that sort of strange way. Perhaps both color and font size could be a struct specifically for overriding things later on in the process?

How much later though? Because wouldn't font size affect shaping? (it my not, I'm just wondering)

font size affects layout, not shaping. Though I'd probably break up runs of different font sizes into different shaping runs to make sure they don't have ligatures connecting them.

I just wanted to leave a plus one on this please. I would make heavy use of this

Yeah, I am implementing markdown support for my app using cosmic-text, and for implementing markdown headings this feature would be really handy, so plus one to it.

I believe it worked well enough for my needs. I don't have time right now to continue working on it, but I'm happy for someone to take my commit and open a PR from it

@conradludgate I gave the changes a try, but they're not quite what I had in mind. What I really need is a feature to make spans bigger by adjusting the font size, so I can effectively implement markdown headings.
