455709 - WinCE GFX Thebes Windows Fonts Missing Uniscribe Font Support

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[John Wolfe (:wolfe)]

Changes needed in gfx thebes to account for no uniscribe font support under WinMobile / WinCE.

Without these changes, the compiler will die on gfx/thebes module.

John, it looks like you forgot to attach the patch

Attachment: Comment out uniscribe defines, add two functions to shunt

Attachment delays to allow creating two new functions in Mozilla WinCE Shunt Library -- thereby avoiding a couple of #ifdef WINCE inside gfx thebes.

Attachment: Actual Patch File

Moves some else-if statements around, then #ifndef WINCE #endif blocks any uniscribe-specific else-if statements. 

Creates two new functions in Mozilla WinCE Shunt Library.

#ifndef WINCE #endif around NONCLIENTMETRICS - since NONCLIENTMETRICS are not available in WinCE / WinMobile.

This just comments out stuff.  Neither doug or I expect this to land.

Attachment: futher hacking out uniscribe calls.

don't think for a second that this is something we want to check in.

Windows mobile either needs its own GDI font code or to use the Freetype code.  I wouldn't continue hacking the current Windows font code.

we're using freetype now
