Add an IndexableText structure for text queries.
Instead of linear search for a node this now uses a HashMap.
Remove the now irrelevant fields from TextDisplayItem.
WR now has a concept of font templates and font instances. This
makes the WR font interfaces closer to Cairo and Gecko, and also
makes some future performance optimizations possible.
A font template is the font family, and data backing the font.
A font instance is a reference to a font template and per-instance
options, such as font size, anti-aliasing settings etc.
To update Servo in a minimally invasive way, I added a new font
cache call, that creates a font instance. This means that when
a font is created, and doesn't exist in the cache there are now
two calls to the font cache thread. We could refactor the font
cache to make this work in one call, which we should do in the
future. However, refactoring the font cache is a large chunk of
work by itself. The extra call is only when a font doesn't already
exist in the font context cache, so it should have minimal
performance impact.
This removes paint threads, rust-layers dependency, and changes
optional webrender types to be required.
The use_webrender option has been removed, however I've left
the "-w" command line option in place so that wpt
runner can continue to pass that. Once it's removed from there
we can also remove the -w option.
Once this stage is complete, it should be fine to change the
display list building code to generate webrender display
lists directly and avoid the conversion step.
Replace character indices with UTF-8 byte offsets throughout the code dealing
with text shaping and breaking. This eliminates a lot of complexity when
converting from one to the other, and interoperates better with the rest of
the Rust ecosystem.
WebRender is an experimental GPU accelerated rendering backend for Servo.
The WebRender backend can be specified by running Servo with the -w option (otherwise the default rendering backend will be used).
WebRender has many bugs, and missing features - but it is usable to browse most websites - please report any WebRender specific rendering bugs you encounter!
This commit introduces the `serde` dependency, which we will use to
serialize messages going between processes in multiprocess Servo.
This also adds a new debugging flag, `-Z print-display-list-json`,
allowing the output of display list serialization to be visualized.
This will be useful for our experiments with alternate rasterizers.
text layout, and unify the inline layout paths for pre- and
normally-formatted text.
This fixes a lot of "jumpiness" and removes the `new_line_pos` stuff.
Closes#2260.
CSS-TEXT-3 § 7.3.
`text-justify: distribute` is not supported.
The behavior of `text-justify: none` does not seem to match what Firefox
and Chrome do, but it seems to match the spec.
Closes#213.
This used to conflict with the util crate from the standard library, which
has long since been removed.
The import in layout has not been changed because of a conflict with the
util mod there.
This property is used by approximately 55% of page loads.
To implement the line breaking behavior, the "breaking strategy" has
been cleaned up and abstracted. This should allow us to easily support
other similar properties in the future, such as `text-overflow` and
`word-break`.
The ligature disabling code has been manually verified, but I was unable
to reftest it. (The only way I could think of would be to create an
Ahem-like font with a ligature table, but that would be an awful lot of
work.)
Near as I can tell, the method used to apply the spacing (manually
inserting extra advance post-shaping) matches Gecko.
construction to avoid cloning and moving flows so much.
Besides amounting to a 5%-10% win on a page with a lot of text, this
simplifies and refactors the text layout code.
