Description Martin Kerz 2007-06-12 02:26:17 PDT
Safari 3 beta has severe rendering issues on German and Dutch installs of Windows. 

An example is the the homepage of the German tv station www.zdf.de

On Safari 3 beta for Mac it renders just fine: http://www.kerz.org/files/safari3_mac.png
This is what is produced on Safari 3 beta on Windows XP German (with all latest patches): http://www.kerz.org/files/safari3_win.png

The English version of Windows renders the page correctly: http://www.kerz.org/files/zdf.de-safari3.png

This bug was confirmed on Dutch installations of Windows, too.

Problem occurred on a US install as well (on one system not the other).

It occurred on the system that had the regional settings set to 'Dutch' and 'Netherlands'. Changing the unaffected system to those settings didn't change, which might indicate the setting affects the installer in some way.

Isn't this the same bug as #14070?
Comment 8 Sander Rijken 2007-06-12 12:19:18 PDT
It might be, but I don't think so, because the same bug occurred on similar installation of vista, only configured differently (Regional Settings) at the time of setup.

Changing that setting afterwards has no effect.

Wouldn't 14070 occur regardless of Regional Settings?
Comment 9 Martin Kerz 2007-06-12 12:36:33 PDT
Seems to me like a duplicate of #14070, yes.

When submitting 14070, I only tested on a german installation of Windows (2000 in this case). I guess I should have written that in there… (I added it now)

You can fix rendering these rendering issues by changing language for non-Unicode programs. The instruction: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx#EVE

You should restart system after applying setting.

Use the PostScript name when the full name lookup fails.

This patch adds an additional step when the creation of a CGFontRef fails.  If the creation does fail using the full name (which can be localized on non-English installs), we will get the font data of the font and find the PostScript name.

We cache a mapping from localized names to PostScript names so that subsequent lookups don't have to grovel through the font data again.

In my limited testing this fixed my issues.  I tested with Russian and Swedish so far.  I think this should largely fix the "bold/italic" missing text issues.

In addition to irc comments:
+    if (bufferSize != 0) {
should be
+    if (bufferSize) {

While this patch does look "sane" (in as much as that's possible in this case) i'd prefer sfalken/maciej to have a look at it as well.

Improve to try to avoid disappearing text always

Even though we'll assert in debug builds if we fail to find a CG font via the PostScript name, this patch adds further bulletproofing to ensure that we fall back to the next font in the list.

Fix leaks and guard against the data in the name table being malicious.

+    if (bufferSize < 6)
+        return NULL;

+    if (bufferSize < stringsOffset)
+        return NULL;

These early returns, and others further on in the function, leak the contents of "buffer".
