The benefit is that you don’t have to create an instance before figuring out the size of a text.
For gui, we’ve also added gui.get_font_resource(node) in order to get the font handle.

local font = go.get("#label", "font") -- or gui.get_font_resource(node)
local metrics = resource.get_text_metrics(font, "The quick brown fox\n jumps over the lazy dog")

gui.get_font_resource takes font name as an argument, not a node. The example code for gui should be:

local font_name = gui.get_font(node)
local font = gui.get_font_resource(font_name)
local metrics = resource.get_text_metrics(font, "The quick brown fox\n jumps over the lazy dog")
