           Summary: [Gtk] Fix leaking the FontPlatformData instance used
                    to create the the small caps font data.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: superstippi at gmx.de


WebCore::SimpleFontData::smallCapsFontData() is allocating a FontPlatformData
object on the heap and assigns it to a const pointer and never frees it. The
FontPlatformData is used for assigning the member of the same type in a
SimpleFontData object. Usually, ports implement the data of FontPlatformData to
be reference counted, and the instance in SimpleFontData takes over the
ownership (same in the Gtk port). The Haiku port contained the same problem
initially, that's why I spotted it when cross referencing the Gtk port.
