Description Patryk Zawadzki 2010-01-25 14:48:41 PST
Some families, for example M+ (http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/mplus-outline-fonts/design/index-en.html) do not provide an explicit italic/oblique font. Firefox behaves like the system does, by emulating italic using slanted Roman (more likely Pango does that automatically), in WebKit, regular roman is used instead.

(Sorry if this is reported against an incorrect element.)
Comment 1 Patryk Zawadzki 2010-01-25 15:53:30 PST
This happens both in GTK port and current Chromium snapshots. No idea about other ports.

Comment 3 Yusuke Sato 2010-02-10 01:28:14 PST
Here is a small html that could reproduce the problem.

<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
@font-face {
     font-family: "A";
     src: url("http://HOST.NAME/PATH/TO/FONT.ttf");
}
.test {
     font-family: 'A';
}
</style></head>
<body><div>
<strong><p class="test">abcde</p></strong>
<i><p class="test">abcde</p></i>
<strong><i><p class="test">abcde</p></i></strong>
<p class="test">abcde</p>
<p>abcde</p>
</div></body></html>

When we don't specify font-weight: in a @font-face rule, WebCore/css/CSSFontSelector.cpp treat the font as if it has 100|200|300|400|...|900 weight. Not 400 (i.e., normal weight).
And when a @font-face font has the 100|...|900 weight mask, current WebCore/css/CSSSegmentedFontFace.cpp implementation never synthesize a bold font for the font. That seems to be the problem.
The same is true for italic. Unusual mask is used when font-style: is missing from @font-face.

I think we could fix the problem by giving special treatment to the 100|...|900 mask in CSSSegmentedFontFace.cpp.

(And I think we shouldn't modify CSSFontSelector.cpp side, since the 100|...|900 mask is necessary for proper handling of this case: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16348
 Without the 100|...|900 mask, <i>...</i> text in https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=28455&action=prettypatch will be displayed in Times, not Arial.)

I'll attach a patch with tests shortly.

bold_italic_font_face_v1

WebKit’s current behavior matches the working draft that allowed specifying multiple values for the font-weight and font-style descriptors: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-webfonts-20020802/#select>. The latest working draft does not allow it <http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-css3-fonts-20090618/#font-property-descriptors-the-font-style>. I think it’s reasonable to change the behavior to match the newer draft—which I think will have the same effect on the test case in this patch. However, this patch introduces new behavior that doesn’t match either version of the spec. That seems like a bad idea.

Thanks for the comment. I've updated the patch so that it follows the latest 2009 draft. Can you please take another look?

Kent-san, I modified the html and added a png result so developers can see if the test passes or not.

bold_italic_font_face_v2

The actual code change in this patch is somewhat mysterious to me, but according to the comments on this bug, this patch brings our behavior closer to Firefox and the specification.  Yusuke has also addressed comments from mitz.

Please wait a few days before landing this patch to give mitz and others a chance to object to this patch.

@reviewers: If you'd rather patches like this one got more expert review, please be more agressive at r-ing or r+ing them.  I'd rather not review this far outside my area, but we also don't want patches waiting for review forever.

bold_italic_font_face_v2

Dan says, "If we’re making this change, shouldn’t we entirely drop support for 'all' and for multiple values in @font-face descriptors?"

I'm a bit confused by this change.  Is it supported by the latest spec draft?

Clearing flag for discussion.
Comment 12 Yusuke Sato 2010-03-23 03:31:38 PDT

Thanks for the comment. 'all' is no longer supported by the latest draft. I'll modify the CSS parser and attach a new patch later.

I've revised Yusuke-san's patch so that font selection logic matches the current draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-css3-fonts-20111004/#font-matching-algorithm). Attached expectations were generated by using chromium Linux port. Could you take another look?

Does it make sense for this to ever be anything other than a single CSSPrimitiveValue here? I would remove handling of lists and remove generation of lists from the parser.

Seems like we need to leave font-variant related code in font selection algorithm for CSS2.1 compatibility.

This almost seems like a typo in the spec. If you specify 500, you get 100 before you get 600.

I'm not sure whether it is a typo. I'd like to keep it at this time. I'll change the behavior if the spec is wrong.
