248618 - Western text specified as "Geeza Pro" isn't shown on Mac

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Mac, defect)

Description

[HARUNAGA Hirotoshi]

This is probably Mac only.
Mac OS X has some font which doesn't contain Western characters ([0-9]
[A-Z][a-z]).
"Geeza Pro (Bold)" is one of them.
If Western text is specified as "Geeza Pro", it's displayed as square
on Mac.

Safari 1.2.2, Opera 7.50 and Mac IE 5.2.3 don't have this problem on
Mac OS 10.3.4.

Changeing component, and it's probably related to bug 120401, so i'm adding
dependence.

Does it work if you write <p><font face="Geeza Pro"> instead of <p
style="font-family: 'GeezaPro';"> ?

No, it doesn't work either.

No. this is not a dup of bug 179945.
Alphabet and numeric characters specified as "Symbol" are rendered
with Mozilla on Mac.
Reopening.

That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't a duplicate. The Symbol font (big "S")
has special-casing in gfx/src/mac/fontEncoding.properties. If Geeza Pro is a
symbol font (small "s"), which it seems to be from the test case, it requires a
version of the patch from bug 94319 for Mac. That's bug 179945.

This looks fixed to me in cairo-cocoa (our old friend busted Mac font code/fallback)....

yes, trunk-20061130 on OS 10.3.9 doesn't have this problem.
