My personal preference is to avoid putting (big) binary data inside revision control system and instead generate or fetch them during the build phase. Of course, sometimes you have to be pragmatic and it's more convenient / easier to just put them in the repo. That's what we do for example for the PNG test expectations, even though I don't like polluting the WebKit patches with base64 data :-)
In addition, as I mentioned the OpenType fonts use LaTeX Project Public License + Reserved Font Names and SIL OFL (copyleft + RFN) which may or may not be compatible/convenient with the license of the WebKit project. For example, I'm not even sure that with the current license of Latin Modern Math it is possible to create a WOFF version without renaming it... > Aside from the size of the font files, it seems like we have at least three > separate issues: Thanks, I think I basically agree with these three points. It seems that we went far away from my initial question (can we use custom fonts to run Mac tests?). So I guess the next step for me will be to open a new thread describing precisely the different features of MathML / Unicode / OpenType that are used by WebKit, which math fonts support them or not and what fallback we use or can use when math fonts are missing. Maybe I'll wait the MathML refactoring to land and/or STIX2 to be released before continuing the discussion. I'd just like to highlight that in my opinion the rule of thumb would be to treat math as other human languages (e.g. think to what happens with Asian or Arabic scripts, ruby markup, OpenType features for complex text layout etc). For example, just like normal text, CSS can be used on MathML to select a math font and WebKit has to do its best to render equations with that font or another system font and maybe finally a non-font fallback (Gecko even has an internal "math" language to let users customize the default and fallback fonts for MathML). The same idea applies to pre-installed system fonts or layout tests. -- Frédéric Wang
