Creating a new BitmapText object fails after calling destroy on a previous one when using a font that is split up into multiple pages.

See original GitHub issue

Expected Behavior

To create BitmapText objects without any errors.

Current Behavior

Creating a new BitmapText after destroying a previous one results in a Cannot read properties of null (reading 'alphaMode') error.

Steps to Reproduce

Like I did here. Create a BitmapText object with an initial value of characters that are from 2 different pages and add it to the stage. Wait for at least one frame and change the text to a character that is in only one of the pages. Wait for another frame and destroy the BitmapText object. After that, try creating a new BitmapText with any of the previous characters used and observe the error.

Thanks @SuperSodaSea I have opened https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/issues/8732, feel free to update it as needed. I provided links for reproducing in v6.5.6 and showing that it does not reproduce in v6.5.2 but it sounds like you already have a clear idea of the cause.

Assigning to Texture.EMPTY to used pool textures on destroy fixed this.
