Adds FC_SYMBOL.
This affects fonts having a cmap with platform 3 encoding 0.
We now map their glyphs from the PUA area to the Latin1 area.
See thread "Webdings and other MS symbol fonts don't display"
on the mailing list.
Test before/after with:
$ pango-view --markup --text='<span fallback="false">×</span>' --font=Wingdings
A while back we removed Apple Roman encoding support. This broke
symbol fonts (Wingdings, etc) because those fonts come with two
cmaps:
1) platform=1,encoding=0, aka Apple Roman, which maps identity,
2) platform=3,encoding=0, aka MS Symbol font
Now, the reason the Apple Roman removal "broke" these fonts is
obvious, and for the better: these fonts were mapping ASCII and
other Latin chars to symbols.
The reason the fonts didn't work anymore, however, is that we were
mishandling the MS symbol-font cmaps. In their modern incarnation
they are like regular non-symbol-font cmap that map PUA codepoints
to symbols. We want to expose those as such. Hence, this change
just removes the special-handling for that.
Now, the reason this confusion happened, if I was to guess, is either
that FreeType docs are wrong saying that FT_ENCODING_MS_SYMBOL is
the "Microsoft Symbol encoding, used to encode mathematical symbols":
http://www.kostis.net/charsets/symbol.htm
or maybe it started that way, but turned into also mapping MS symbol-
font cmaps, which is a completely different thing. At any rate, I
don't know if there are any fonts that use this thing these days, but
the code here didn't seem to produce charset for any font. By now I'm
convinced that this change is the Right Thing to do. The MS Symbol
thing was called AdobeSymbol in our code by the way.
This fixes the much-reported bug that windings, etc are not usable
with recent fontconfig:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58641
Now I see PUA mappings reported for Wingdings.
This also fixes:
Bug 48947 - Drop the non-Unicode cmap support gradually
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48947
since the AdobeSymbol was the last non-Unicode cmap we were
trying to parse (very incorrectly).
Lots of code around this change can be simplified. I'll push those
out (including removing the table itself) in subsequent changes.
All color fonts are designed to be scaled, even if they only have
bitmap strikes. Client is responsible to scale the bitmaps. This
is in constrast to non-color strikes...
Clients can still use FC_OUTLINE to distinguish bitmap vs outline
fonts. Previously FC_OUTLINE and FC_SCALABLE always had the same
value. Now FC_SCALABLE is set to (FC_OUTLINE || FC_COLOR).

iconv support was turned off by default in f30a5d76.
Some fonts, like Apple Color Emoji, only have their English
name in a MacRoman entry. As such, decode MacRoman ourselves.
It was added without proper measurement and a fuzzy possible
use-case (font servers) in mind, but reality check shows that
this significantly slows down caching. As such, deprecate it
and do NOT compute hash during caching.
Makes caching two to three times faster (ignoring the 2 second
delay in fc-cache).
This is more robust but introduces a small change in behavior:
For .pcf.gz fonts, the new code calculates the hash of the uncompressed
font data whereas the original code was calculating the hash of the
compressed data.
No big deal IMO.
This feature requires the FreeType 2.5.1 or later at the build time.
Besides <range> element allows <double> elements with this changes.
This may breaks the cache but not bumping in this change sets at this moment.
please be aware if you want to try it and run fc-cache before/after to
avoid the weird thing against it.
Workaround to not failing even when the hash is unable to generate from fonts.
This change also contains to ignore the case if the hash isn't in either both
patterns.
Add back FcHashGetSHA256DigestFromFile() and fall back to it
when font isn't SFNT-based font because FT_Load_Sfnt_Table
fails with FT_Err_Invalid_Face_Handle.
Maps fonts produced by the Culmus project <http://culmus.sourceforge.net>
to the XLFD foundry name culmus.
For TrueType fonts, maps the vendor code CLM from the TrueType vendor id field.
For Type1 fonts, which use heuristics to guess mappings to XLFD foundries from
words in the copyright notice, add the names of the main contributors to
the Culmus product to recognize the fonts under their copyright.
Patch from Maxim Iorsh
The OT spec says:
"When building a Unicode font for Windows, the platform ID should be 3 and the
encoding ID should be 1. When building a symbol font for Windows, the platform
ID should be 3 and the encoding ID should be 0."
We were ignoring the SYMBOL_CS entry before. It's UTF-16/UCS-2 like the
UNICODE_CS.
Also, always use UTF-16BE instead of UCS-2BE. The conversion was doing
UTF-16BE anyway.
