Summary: RFE: Add font autoinstallation support
Product: WebKit
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Text
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CC: [email protected]
The Linux platform is gaining an on-demand font autoinstallation framework (BSD
and Solaris will probably follow eventually).
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticFontInstallation
Webkit browsers should be plugged into it and use it to request the fonts the
pages they render need. This would have a huge user impact, especially for
pages that have strong i18n constrains.
Unlike proposals such as @font-face and EOT the fonts are sourced from trusted
user-controlled sources, are properly vetted legal-side, use the latest font
versions not old obsolete ones (with bug fixes), and are installed system-wide
where other apps can take advantage of them.
