[webkit-dev] how does Webkit handle font

[David Kilzer]

No, libicu is used to lay out international text.

CSS fonts are handled by files with "CSS" and "font" in their name, which will lead you to other files with "font" in their name under the WebCore/platform/graphics/ directory.

$ find WebCore -iname \*font\* -print | grep -i css
WebCore/css/CSSFontFace.cpp
WebCore/css/CSSFontFace.h
WebCore/css/CSSFontFaceRule.cpp
WebCore/css/CSSFontFaceRule.h
WebCore/css/CSSFontFaceRule.idl
WebCore/css/CSSFontFaceSource.cpp
WebCore/css/CSSFontFaceSource.h
WebCore/css/CSSFontFaceSrcValue.cpp
WebCore/css/CSSFontFaceSrcValue.h
WebCore/css/CSSFontSelector.cpp
WebCore/css/CSSFontSelector.h
WebCore/css/CSSSegmentedFontFace.cpp
WebCore/css/CSSSegmentedFontFace.h
WebCore/css/FontFamilyValue.cpp
WebCore/css/FontFamilyValue.h
WebCore/css/FontValue.cpp
WebCore/css/FontValue.h

I think it is handled by libicu.
