1951795 - [css-text-4] Implement text-spacing-trim property

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, enhancement)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

The CSS Text Module Level 4 defines a text-spacing-trim property that controls spacing around CJK punctuation characters on the same line.
It is a longhand for the text-spacing property, which is meant to be implemented in bug 289130.

This bug is meant to implement that property.

Yu Gothic UI (system-ui for Japanese Windows) must be explicitly excluded from this specification for the time being.

Which issue does this font have? Broken halt feature?

Comment 4

[Tatsunori Uchino]

Yes, its GPOS table and halt is completely rotten and broken.

We have to apply a provisional patch like:

Yu Gothic UI has just been fixed by the latest monthly KB. You do not need a patch any longer.
