* The ‘height’ needs to be negated since the API returns “distance from
top to bottom side”.
* Similarly, the ‘y_offset‘ needs to be added to the height to get the
‘y_bearing’, since sbix’s offset is “the point in the glyph relative
to its lower-left corner which corresponds to the origin” while
‘y_bearing’ is the “top side of glyph from origin”.
With these changes the sbix glyph metrics return values similar to other
tables, as they were otherwise unusable.
Core Text doesn't actually have a concept of DPI internally, as it
doesn't rasterize anything by itself, it just generates vector paths
that get passed along to Core Graphics.
In practice this means Core Text operates in the classical macOS
logical DPI of 72, with one typographic point corresponding to one
point in the Core Graphics coordinate system, which for a normal
bitmap context then corresponds to one pixel -- or two pixels for
a "retina" context with a 2x scale transform.
Scaling the font point sizes given to HarfBuzz to an assumed DPI
of 96 is problematic with this in mind, as fonts with optical
features such as 'trak' tables for tracking, or color glyphs,
will then base the metrics off of the wrong point size compared
to what the client asked for.
This in turn causes mismatches between the metrics of the shaped
text and the actual rasterization, which doesn't include the 72
to 96 DPI scaling.
If a 96 DPI is needed, such as on the Web, the scaling should be
done outside of HarfBuzz, allowing the client to keep the DPI of
the shaping in sync with the rasterization.
The recommended way to do that is by scaling the font point size,
not by applying a transform to the target Core Graphics context,
to let Core Text choose the right optical features of the target
point size, as described in WWDC 2015 session 804:
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2015/804/
It is not visually noticeable but apparently affected by kern format2 correct implementation.
I should've checked CoreText result which can't as CircleCI outage.
Annotated OpenType Specification or aots, https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/aots
provides a set of tests for OpenType specification, this change add those tests in addition
to modified version of their HarfBuzz test runner for generating harfbuzz project specific tests.
If we have duplicae font files in different directories, that would
break the oss-fuzz build currently. So, rename some to avoid
name class with text-rendering-test. Would be better to find
another solution.
The font supports the deprecated tag 'DHV ' instead of 'DIV '. dv is
mapped to 'DIV ' and 'DHV ', in that order. The test specifies
`--language=dv`, demonstrating that if a font does not support the first
OpenType tag mapped to a BCP 47 tag, it will fall back to the next tag.
Now that we added morx support, our OS X bot is running them through CoreText
and failing (with a DoS / infinite loop no less!). Always run tests through
our own shaper.
