We should enable Core Text by default on trunk.

fix v1.0

Do we need to preserve --disable-coretext still? I guess you said we don't want to rip out all our 10.4 support yet. Can you file a followup on removing that + all the MOZ_CORETEXT ifdefs once we're sure about dropping 10.4?

We'll be sure to remove all of the configure stuff when we remove ATSUI.

It appears that this bug's checkin fixed a crasher on trunk (Bug 534672), which still crashes 1.9.1 and 1.9.2.

Is there any chance we could backport this change (and the code it enables) to either or both of those branches?
Hm, I just tried building 1.9.2 with this bug's patch applied, and I got:
{
checking for Core Text... no
 configure: error: --enable-coretext requires MacOS SDK 10.5 or newer
 *** Fix above errors and then restart with               "make -f client.mk build"
 make[2]: *** [configure] Error 1
 make[1]: *** [/builds/slave/sendchange-macosx-hg/build/objdir/ppc/Makefile] Error 2
make: *** [build] Error 2
}

which leads me to believe this can't be backported. :(

Not easily, because we're still building those against the 10.4 SDK, which does not support the Core Text APIs.
