RenderTextControl inspects a family name to see if it starts with a '.' This is OSX-specific.

Please change bug title to "RenderTextControl does not need iOS-specific behavior"

You should describe what you did here, because it isn't removing platform-specific code, or at least doesn't look like it is.

How do we know we can get rid of this too?

I meant OS X specific, of course :)

That code is guarded behind a check which is never true. Therefore, it wasn't getting hit. By unifying the two code paths, I was changing the behavior of the guard, which was making this code be (erroneously) hit, so I needed to take it out.

Looks like the OS/2 table has positive values for xAvgCharWidth, rather than negative values which I had anticipated. This patch is bad.

@myles - We do have this code still:

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/FontCascade.cpp#L354

Is this patch needed anymore? Thanks!
