Key to any patch that adds a new parser is testing of all the branches in the 
parser code, including fuzz testing to make sure the parser doesn’t introduce 
security vulnerabilities.

Re: [webkit-dev] 48459: Glyphs in vertical text tests are rotated 90 degrees clockwise on Windows

2012-03-04 Thread Koji Ishii
The patch isn't completed yet but I posted a work-in-progress patch to make 
sure I'm not mistaken in overall directions:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48459#c44

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Note that the patch isn't small; ~40k. I thought about splitting new classes 
(~20k) to a separate bug, but it won't run without changing callers, and it 
requires one additional API in platforms to read OpenType font files, so I'm 
not sure if it's a good thing or not. Any suggestions here are also appreciated.

Koji

Thank you Dave, I'll go that way.

I'm thinking to write a code that parses OpenType tables only assuming 
platforms have an API to get specified OpenType tables as raw byte arrays. 
Hopefully other platforms can use the same code.

CSS is going to define its own glyph orientation definitions, and would like to 
add author-defined orientations in future levels, so I assume some of the Mac 
code today will move to the core in future. I'd like the patch well prepared to 
the move.

Re: [webkit-dev] 48459: Glyphs in vertical text tests are rotated 90 degrees clockwise on Windows

2012-02-26 Thread Koji Ishii
I found another library issue for how to get vertical alternate glyphs.

Currently,

1. Mac version of WebCoreSystemInterface.mm defines 
wkGetVerticalGlyphsForCharacters API
2. Mac uses this function and CoreText to draw vertical glyphs in 
GlyphPageTreeNodeMac.cpp
3. Windows version of WebKitSystemInterface.h doesn't have the API

Should I also write this one too? I'm asking because the module is different, 
but again I have no idea who owns WebKitSystemInterface.

The good part is that, the API probably uses not only 'vert' but also 'vrt2', 
the latter which recent CSS spec decided not to use, so we have more precise 
control to match to the current and coming spec.

The bad part is that, from experiences, we will probably face several issues 
due to broken fonts. It's not too hard to write the code from OpenType specs, 
but it might degrade stability since not all fonts conforms to OpenType spec 
very well.

Koji

Okay...I was afraid of that, because then the patch becomes larger and it might 
make review harder. But if that's preferable than introducing new dependencies, 
I can look into that.

I checked other platforms quickly. Without knowing much of them, from the

1. Bring the CTFontGetVerticalTranslationsForGlyphs API to WebKitLibraries.
2. Use other libraries such as FreeType[2] to read related OpenType tables.
3. Read raw tables using GetFontData Win32 API and parse vhea/vorg/vmtx tables 
etc.

I have no idea how I can make option 1 happen.

Any suggestions?
