------- Additional Comments from Kelemen Balázs

There is a logical mistake in the previous patch: FontFallbackList::fontDataAt
gives back the SimpleFontData what has been created the first time without
taking care about what FontDescription the Font what it gets as parameter has.
I am not sure it is really a problem because the outputs of LayoutTests are
equivalents of what they are with a clean TOT build. I tried the tests in
css1/font_properties and in fonts by load and see them (because they fail even
with the clean build). However I made another solution what does not suffer
from this problem by transplanted some of the logic from FontCache.cpp to
FontFallbackListQt.cpp and made a mapping from FontDescription to the
SimpleFontData what we create and give back. I am not sure about what copyright
and license should I use for the new file and where should I put it - let we
discuss about it if you like the patch. Now there are 2 different solution for
the same problem - you can choose what is better. I would be very happy if we
could fix and close the bug somehow.
