            Bug ID: 177084
           Summary: [FreeType] Remove font matching hacks from
                    FontCacheFreeType.cpp
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at igalia.com
                CC: bugs-noreply at webkitgtk.org

In r187527 I added a bunch of hacks to FontCacheFreeType.cpp copied from Skia, to follow Fontconfig's strong aliases but not weak aliases. Now that Fontconfig 2.12.5 is out, we can use FcPatternGetWithBinding() instead and delete all this messy code. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19375

Note that we don't want to bump the required Fontconfig version, but we also do not care about regressing the font matching behavior for people with old Fontconfig because it's simply not that important, and we want to delete the code. We'll of course need to update Fontconfig in WebKit's jhbuild modulesets, though.
