Using TTFont.getGlyphOrder() would also require to decompile post and cmap tables.
But we don't need the actual glyph names in order to apply the WOFF2 glyf transform.
An earlier change made sure that language tags would always be
four characters in length, even when ending in whitespace.
This made a few test cases in parser_test.py fail. By accident,
I had only run builder_test (instead of all unittest in fonttools)
before committing that change.
Currently, the compiler uses them to figure out which set of
languagesystems would apply for the current scope. However, this
information is not yet used for anything.
Also add ';' to some langaugesystem test cases. This makes the
snippets syntactically valid. The parser is still expected to
reject them for other reasons, just as before this change.
This simplifies the public API to the library. For clients, it does
not matter which exact component was detecting an error. And we will
soon have more components; there would be little point in declaring
CompilerError, TableBuilderError, and so forth.
Before this change, the XML output for GSUB lookups of type 3
was not deterministic; multiple runs of TTX on the same font
could therefore emit the alternates in a different order.
Since alternate glyphs are sets, this change makes no semantic
difference to the output. However, a deterministic ordering
is needed for tests that compare GSUB tables in TTX format.
When a font supplies no glyph names in its 'post' table, fontTools
builds synthetic glyph names by reversing the 'cmap' table.
After this change, the library looks at all 'cmap' subtables for
Unicode, irrespective of format or platform. For example, glyph #4
in NotoSansOldItalic-Regular.ttf gets now named "u10300" instead of
"glyph00004".
Moved the code for building a reversed 'cmap' table into the cmap class,
for easier testing.
The data-structure can be used in more places, but it's most beneficial in
this table since hdmx tables can have tens of ppem's, each having a dictionary
keyed by glyphnames...
Reorder to OT spec recommended order if reorederTables == True (default).
Don't reorder if reorderTables == None.
Keep the input font original table order if reorderTables == False (and
the font has a reader object from which to get the original order).
