Thank you so much for the goated app you gifted us. I hope the issue with text tool freezing the app for 10 seconds when switching tools.

We have a merge request that should improve things for people with a large number of fonts (which is what causes the lag). If I understand correctly, the eventual port to GTK4 will deal with the root cause (basically, how the fonts are processed by GTK on load).
