The goal is to fix all the context that influences the rendering
of text nodes in the node file. This will help with better font
testing.
The newly accepted properties are
hint-style: none/slight/full
antialias: none/gray
We are omitting font options and values that aren't supported
in GSK or have no influence on the rendering.
Note that these settings will get incorporated in the PangoFont
that gets set on the resulting text node.
Parser tests included.
It is a bit annoying that one has to specify the glyph width
when specifying glyphs numerically for a text node, since this
information really is part of the font.
Make the parser more flexible, and allow to specify just the glyph
ids, without an explicit width. In this case, the width will be
determined from the font.
With this, glyphs can now be specified in any of the follwing
ways:
glyphs: "ABC"; (ASCII)
glyphs: 23, 45, 1001; (Glyph IDs)
glyphs: 23 10, 100 11.1; (Glyph IDs and advance widths)
glyphs: 23 10 1 2 color; (with offsets and flags)
Tests have been updated to cover these variants.
This will let us store complete test fonts inside node files,
as data: urls. You can also use a file: url to refer to a local
file.
The syntax is as follows:
text {
font: "FONT DESCRIPTION" url("data:font/ttf;base64,FONT DATA");
}
with the url being optional.
