Additional information

This is a known issue, but not yet documented here on GitHub. I'm posting here so there's a place for discussion and to point to in other issues/PRs and so that it's not forgotten.

From discord:

the queue_sprites is checking against visible_entities in order to determine whether it renders each sprite and since we are using a sparseset for sprites the text2d individual glyphs get assigned new entity ids that don't match the original Text2dBundle so they are considered not visible. Ideally we have a better way of storing text glyphs for both ui and 2d (and eventually 3d) so we don't have to spawn a bunch of empty entities.

(this doesn't currently affect UI text as it is clipped later rather than using visible_entities)
