This looks good. Like I said earlier, if this is *really* hot then we should go even further with some kind of caching/memoizing so we don’t create a dictionary at all in most cases.

Easy mistake would be to add a new case below and not update the array sizes here. Would be nice if we could find a way to assert or static_assert or something to make it trivial to catch the mistake either at compile time or runtime.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/mac/SimpleFontDataCoreText.cpp:59

This can be written something like this:

    static CTParagraphStyleRef paragraphStyle = [] () {
        auto style = CTParagraphStyleCreate(nullptr, 0);
        CGParagraphStyleSetCompositionLanguage(style, kCTCompositionLanguageNone);
        return style;
     }();

I think it’s slightly better coding style. Could even put this into a separate function for clarity.
