This allows us to get identical metrics on macOS and Linux. Without
this, Skia will use CoreText on macOS and give us slightly different
text metrics. That causes layout tests to be slightly different on
different platforms, which is a huge headache. So let's not do that.
You can now launch Ladybird and headless-browser with --force-fontconfig
to load fonts through fontconfig. Tests run in this mode by default.
Typeface is a more widely used name for the data represented by
class previously named VectorFont.
Now:
- Typeface represents decoded font that is not ready for rendering
- ScaledFont represents the combination of typeface and size for
rendering
This fixes the relevant warnings when running LibJSGCVerifier. Note that
the analysis is only performed over LibJS-adjacent code, but could be
performed over the entire codebase. That will have to wait for a future
commit.
FontDatabase.h with its includes add up to quite a lot of code. In the
next commit, compiled GML files are going to need to access the
FontWeight enum, so let's allow them to do that without pulling in lots
of other things.
Also, change users to include FontWeight.h instead of FontDatabase.h
where appropriate.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
Some clients (e.g LibWeb) want to look up typefaces by name. Since we
already store typefaces in a HashMap keyed by family name, let's also
have a nice & fast API that takes advantage of this.
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Also make the font discovery algorithm search subdirectories as well.
This will be used by Ladybird to discover more fonts on non-Serenity
systems. :^)
