Description Michael Saboff 2011-05-27 10:14:15 PDT
Core Text has code paths that call into CGFontCreateFontsWithPath() directly, bypassing CGā€™s font database. This can and does (in TOT WebKit, for example) result in multiple distinct CGFont objects being created for the exact same font.  See <rdar://problem/9089228>for details. Every time we get a new and distinct CGFontRef, we create a new FontCache entry and abandon the old one.

The cache fails to find the earlier entry due to FontPlatformData::platformIsEqual() in FontPlatformDataCocoa.mm comparing the saved m_cfFont.

This doesn't match the code change. We compare the m_font members if either one is not null, not if both are not null.
