Created attachment 156674 [details] Test html file Dear Devs! Monospace font does not render in proper sizes: Overview: I can't set a monospace font (eg: Courier) to 10CPI size. Theoretically Courier 12pt = 10CPI. Steps to Reproduce: Open the attachment in webkit Actual Results: Notice that the text does not fill the grey box Expected Results: Open the text html in Firefox 14, the block with 12pt Courier font exactly fills the box. Open a microsoft word or libreoffice writer, create a text with 12pt Courier font, it prints exactly the same size, like firefox. Build Date & Platform: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic-pae #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:39:35 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Additional Builds and Platforms: Linux 3.2.0-27-generic-pae #43-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 6 15:06:05 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Windows 7 (WebKit.exe#WebKit-r124698)
Created attachment 156675 [details] Firefox 14 - renders right
Created attachment 156676 [details] qtwebkit fails
Created attachment 156678 [details] WebKit-r124698 fails
If anyone can help, where can i start hacking the code, don't hesitate, please share with me!:)
Does anyone know what libs responsible for the font rendering in webkit on different operating systems? The proper rendering in Firefox 14 and Internet Explorer 9 is done via new DirectWrite API. Before using DirectWrite the monospace rendering failed same way like webkit. There is a list about different browsers and rendering engines in this article: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/04/24/a-closer-look-at-font-rendering/ I tested every browser on windows. Just the browsers with DirectWrite engine renders properly.
Interesting. Have you tried compiling WebKit yourself? If you do, you can try to activate SUBPIXEL_LAYOUT and see if that helps. It looks like sizes are rounded poorly.
Im using webkit in Qt. I found a workaround: Commenting out this row in this file makes the monospace fonts render correctly: /src/3rdparty/webkit/WebCore/platform/graphics/qt/FontPlatformDataQt.cpp font.setStyleStrategy(QFont::ForceIntegerMetrics);
In my testing the workaround suggested in comment #7 also results in a general improvement in font kerning which was previously often very poor.
Any news on this? Found it mentioned here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/wkhtmltopdf-dev/SWLkI5eHi_4
Dear Allan Sandfeld Jensen! I using Qt, so i suggested a workaround for it. But the issue exists in webkit too (as you can see it in the screenshots) Best regards, Károly Marton
I think there a two ways about this. One, we need to establish if the bug #36532 still applies on Mac. Can we remove ForceIntegerMetrics. Second, maybe ForceIntegerMetrics is being too aggressive, and should only force basic metrics to integers but not advances. I can confirm that removing the forced rounding on advances also solves this bug.

Comment on attachment 193814 [details] Patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=193814&action=review LGTM.

But it'll go away with the whole ifdef chunk soon enough :)
