Re: [webkit-dev] Planning on Requiring Python 2.7 Soon
IIRC, some GTK bots still run Python 2.6. (But not all of them?) Here’s a relevant workaround I landed a while ago: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/172686 On Sep 10, 2014, at 4:31 PM, Brent Fulgham bfulg...@apple.com wrote: Hi Everyone, Now that I’ve worked through the minor issues that prevented us from using Python 2.7 on our Windows bots, I’d like to move the goalposts and require Python 2.7 (or newer) for our build and test machines.

[webkit-dev] Port-specific OpenType support
Hello, Webkittens! I have started work on an SVG font - OpenType converter [1] with the intent of eventually getting rid of our code path which lays out and draws text using SVG fonts. The motivation is fourfold: 1) Performance: on OS X the native text libraries are over 1000x faster than our SVG code path. 2) Security: There have been numerous security bugs in the SVG font code path. 3) Code clarity: This would greatly simplify the text rendering code. 4) The next version of SVG is removing SVG fonts completely [2]. Chrome has recently dropped support for SVG fonts [3] and Firefox/IE never had it [4] [5]. My question to WebKit-Dev is: Are there any ports who: 1) Want continued support for SVG fonts, and 2) Whose platforms do not support OpenType fonts natively? Thanks, Myles C.

WebKitGTK+ supports OpenType natively and I as far as I know we have no problems dropping support for SVG fonts. If SVG fonts are supported by the Mac port though, we will probably still want to maintain support for our own port, if possible. --Martin ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

We broke some of the python tests yesterday and fixed them today, so it is likely what you saw.
