Two bopomofo tone marks are not moved to the correct place in vertical text with a particular bopomofo font

• Component: Text
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

See https://cmex-30.github.io/Bopomofo_on_Web/testpage/index.html

In the last box, these two characters are not placed correctly:

- ˫ U+02EB MODIFIER LETTER YANG DEPARTING TONE MARK
- ˪ U+02EA MODIFIER LETTER YIN DEPARTING TONE MARK

Compare the positioning to Chrome.

Reduction

(The attached reduction needs the custom font from https://cmex-30.github.io/Bopomofo_on_Web/testpage/index.html)

For some reason we're getting two different Font objects in FontCascade::drawGlyphBuffer() which point to the same CTFont

[Myles C. Maxfield]

m_font.glyphDataForCharacter() is reporting different Font objects for those characters. They point to the same CTFont though.

I see what's happening. The FontCascade::isCJKIdeographOrSymbol() check in FontCascadeFonts::glyphDataForVariant() is returning true for the modifiers but false for the regular characters.

We need to do something about this; maybe make some more custom fonts for the WebKit test suite. That situation is high risk for the project, I think. I’d even like to see this kind of thing tested in WPT.
