In what situations do we get this "double glyph drawing", and why does it mean we can't avoid using DrawGlyphsRecorder? Is this for glyphs with multiple, colored outlines, or something else?

I guess if you want to do it this way it's fine, but I guess I just wanted to make sure that you thought about doing this in a way that abided by layering a bit more strictly.

I believe Simon is talking about COLRv0 glyphs here.

GraphicsContext seems like the wrong level of abstraction here. Is there really no displaylist-specific way to do this?

DisplayList gets the optional<bool>, rather than the DisplayListReplayer? Shouldn't DisplayLists be immutable once they are recorded?

Did you consider adding a new entry point to the Recorder? Would such a thing even work?

Surely this could have been done as a separate patch 🤔

Didn't you tell me years ago not to duplicate ChangeLog prose?

I guess I said this in an earlier comment but this feels like a layering violation.

I think you should be trying to determine if the decomposition process is the identity function. E.g. consider a COLRv0 glyph that has a single layer; the number of glyphs will be equal and the drawImage flag will be false, but the decomposition process would still have to happen (in the web process).

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/coretext/DrawGlyphsRecorderCoreText.cpp:409
> +        return GraphicsContext::DidDecomposeGlyphs::Yes;

This name is a little misleading. You're not returning information about whether or not glyphs were decomposed - because all glyphs will get decomposed; instead, you're returning information about whether the decomposition was the identity function.

Definitely feels like you put 2 patches inside a single patch

Did you forget to add the test files?
