There was a problem hiding this comment.
In the tests, the `textScaleFactors` list is copied from
emoji_reaction_test. Perhaps there's a convenient place to define it
centrally.
I think probably most convenient would be to put it at the top level of this file text_test.dart, and then emoji_reaction_test.dart can import from there.
It feels slightly messy to have one file be importing from another file that has its own main function; but it works fine, and it makes a low-fuss solution here.
This is now the natural thing to do for tooltipTheme, following recommendations in the upstream docs (thanks to my PR flutter/flutter#135879!) and doesn't need an explicit comment explaining it.

To confirm that [TextStyle.letterSpacing] is taken literally as logical pixels, as its dartdoc suggests it is, I rendered the text "||" with an extreme [TextStyle.letterSpacing] value of 40. Then it was easy to see that the letter spacing -- the horizontal distance between the two "|" characters -- wasn't changing as I adjusted the text-size slider in my iPhone settings. In the tests, the `textScaleFactors` list is copied from emoji_reaction_test. Perhaps there's a convenient place to define it centrally.
…ant it The letter spacings in these pieces of text hasn't been responding to system font-size adjustments. Now they do. There might not be any other instances of this problem in the app, because we widely apply 0 for [TextStyle.letterSpacing] (since 0065954), and when we do that, it shouldn't matter whether zero is considered as logical pixels or as a proportion the surrounding text size.

This could be helpful for #548, but I'm sending it now so we can see if we like the logic and want to reuse it for that. It does make a small adjustment to some letter spacing, to better follow the user's device-level text size setting, so I'll post some screenshots.
