This looks OK to me, but someone that understands more about fonts (Myles...) should review.

Why are we soft linking CoreText? It's available on all platforms which also have MACaptionAppearanceCopyFontDescriptorForStyle().

Put the static_cast<CFArrayRef>() here rather than on line 440.

> +        auto fontCascadeName = adoptCF(CTFontDescriptorCopyAttribute(fontCascade, kCTFontNameAttribute));

Ditto.

I added this to fix the Windows build.

Another example seen here with fast/performance/performance-now-crash-on-navigated-window.html. The crashlog is actually attributed to fast/media/window-oncuechange.html

[Ryan Haddad]

Reverted r215175 for reason:

This change caused a flaky crash in existing media tests.

You shouldn't need soft linking to do this. We use Core Text stuff elsewhere in our Windows port. You should remove this soft linking stuff (including the part you didn't write) and instead put the declarations in Source/WebCore/platform/spi/win/CoreTextSPIWin.h

Thanks! I have removed the soft linking, and added null pointer checks.

[Myles C. Maxfield]

Did you figure out why the flakiness happened?

Yes, the problem was that the call CTFontDescriptorCopyAttribute(font.get(), kCTFontCascadeListAttribute) returned null in some cases. I added null pointer checks in the latest patch.
