           Summary: Switch Chrome on Mac to Core Text APIs
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: InChromiumBugs
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: playmobil at google.com


http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/50259/trunk caused a regression in Arabic text
rendering on Chrome under10.6 described at http://crbug.com/27195 .

Chrome uses the ATSUI APIs rather than Core Text on both 10.5 & 10.6 for
historical reasons.

ATSUI is deprecated on 10.6 in favor of Core Text so it makes sense to switch
over the rendering APIs, rather than working around them in the ATSUI interface
code.
