Bug 199736 – Be more robust regarding dot-prefixed fonts

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: Text

[Myles C. Maxfield]

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199653 happened because we encountered a system font that we didn't expect. The solution for that bug in particular was to start expecting that font. However, in the future we shouldn't completely fall over in that case. We should try to be more robust.

I think what this will actually entail, as far as code, is for all fonts that SystemFontDatabaseCoreText creates (and eventually end up in a FontFamilySpecificationCoreText) to be marked somehow as "This is a variable font where the instance has already been chosen". Then, in preparePlatformFont(), when we apply the weight/width/slope variations, we can skip that section on the marked fonts. Right now we do that check by asking "fontIsSystemFont(originalFont)" but instead we can use that mark. This still wouldn't be perfect, but it would probably as close as we could get without adding explicit support for each dot-prefixed font.

Actually, this is probably a trivial patch.

‘eyyyyy there’s already a flag that does exactly that! It looks like we should just set the flag and change the guard and be done!
