            Bug ID: 224426
           Summary: Make FontFace parsing worker-safe
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

WorkerGlobalScope is a FontProvider and thus needs to provide a FontFace. Using FontFace in OffscreenCanvas in a Worker is tracked in bug 224178. Currently, FontFace uses parseString, but this ends up using CSSValuePool::singleton and possibly other things that aren't safe for use in a Worker.

Much like canvas/OffscreenCanvas now use CSSParser::parseFontWorkerSafe, we need safe parsers for the other font properties (which are all subsets of parseFont I believe, so this ought to be a relatively simple patch at least on the CSSParser-side) and for FontFace and CSSFontFace to use them. As a bonus, this also ought to be a (very) minor performance improvement.
