745261 - check calls to SetupCairoFont for failure

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: Text, defect)

Description

Attachment: patch, bail out of whatever we're doing if SetupCairoFont fails

We have a number of places where we call gfxFont::SetupCairoFont(context) and then proceed on the assumption that the font has indeed been set up properly. We should check those calls for failure (the method returns a success/failure bool), and just bail out if something went wrong.

This seems fine but I think the warning should take place everywhere
SetupCairoFont fails, for example in the several calls within various
ShapeWord methods.  I don't like the idea of failing quietly in some places.

I didn't add those in all places because if ShapeWord returns false, its callers (e.g. gfxFont::GetShapedWord) already log a warning, so it seemed excessive amount to warn from within it as well.
