Bug 61646 – Duplicate Fonts Put in Font Cache on Mac Due to Duplicate CGFontRefs for Same Font

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Saboff]

Core Text has code paths that call into CGFontCreateFontsWithPath() directly, bypassing CG’s font database. This can and does (in TOT WebKit, for example) result in multiple distinct CGFont objects being created for the exact same font.  See <rdar://problem/9089228>for details. Every time we get a new and distinct CGFontRef, we create a new FontCache entry and abandon the old one.

The cache fails to find the earlier entry due to FontPlatformData::platformIsEqual() in FontPlatformDataCocoa.mm comparing the saved m_cfFont.

This doesn't match the code change. We compare the m_font members if either one is not null, not if both are not null.
