#' Text character patterned grobs
#'
#' `grid.pattern_text()` draws a text character pattern onto the graphic device.
#'
#' @inheritParams grid.pattern_regular_polygon
#' @inheritParams alphaMaskGrob
#' @param shape A character or expression vector.
#'              See `label` argument of [grid::textGrob()] for more details.
#' @param size Fontsize
#' @param fontfamily The font family.  See [grid::gpar()] for more details.
#' @param fontface The font face.  See [grid::gpar()] for more details.
#' @return A grid grob object invisibly.  If `draw` is `TRUE` then also draws to the graphic device as a side effect.
