Steps to reproduce this
Many of the typography methods return the current value when called with no parameters, this is expected and matches the V1 behaviour.
This still happens in V2 but it also generates a friendly error warning of missing parameters even though allowed.
Also in the reference section these methods don't show the method declaration with no parameters (it did in V1 ref).
The following code demonstrates the friendly error generations with V2
// p5.disableFriendlyErrors = true;
function setup() {
createCanvas(400, 400);
// These display a friendly warning in V2 even though a parameter is not required
console.log(`Align:`, textAlign());
console.log(`Font:`, textFont());
console.log(`Style:`, textStyle());
console.log(`Size:`, textSize());
console.log(`Leading:`, textLeading());
// The following work as expected in V2 (i.i. same as V1)
console.log(`Ascent:`, textAscent());
console.log(`Descent:`, textDescent());
}
