SplitText Plugin Throws Error "Intl.Segmenter is not a constructor" in Older Browser Versions

[ahzvenol]

Tested Browser Version: Chromium 86.0.4236.0

The issue originates from line 71 in SplitText.ts: _charSegmenter: any = typeof Intl !== "undefined" ? new (Intl as any).Segmenter() : 0
In the tested browser, Intl exists but Intl.Segmenter does not, leading to an exception being thrown.

Interesting. What browser/version was giving you trouble? We can add another conditional check in the next version.

I tested multiple Chrome versions between 56 and 86, and also Firefox 120.
According to the MDN documentation, browsers/versions that support Intl but not Intl.Segmenter may be affected.

I encountered the same problem.

I temporarily added a conditional judgment to solve the problem, and I hope the GSAP can support it in the future.
