: Trivial fix for overly-conservative clamping of font-size within cairo (now matches limit used elsewhere in gfx). : Possibility of oversized subtitling on netflix for Linux/hidpi users.
#NETFLIX FONT BLOCK CODE#
(Originates with code landed in bug 322345, fwiw.) : Not really a regression, an arbitrary implementation limit that affects netflix code on hidpi Linux systems. Given that it can affect a top-usage site (netflix), and is such a trivial fix, I think we should take this in beta to get it out sooner. Increase the MAX_FONT_SIZE limit applied in cairo_ft_font to match the gfxFont size limit So I suggest we start by taking a conservative fix here to mitigate the immediate problem.Ĭomment on attachment 8960701 by an order of magnitude - but that would need more testing across all platforms, in case it might expose weaknesses in one or other of the platform rasterizers. I suspect it might be safe to completely remove these limits, or at least raise them significantly further - e.g. As such, I think we could safely relax this limit, at least bumping it to 2000 to match the limit we're imposing in gfxFont. However, it looks like the specific limit of 1000 pixels was just an arbitrary figure and it also looks like the underlying bug has been fixed in FT for a decade or more at this point. The cairo-ft-font limit was introduced in bug 322345 to avoid what appears to have been a FreeType bug. (Note, though, that on any platform, a similar problem would arise if you had a configuration with devicePixelRatio > 2.0, because we clamp the used font size in gfxFontStyle to a maximum of 2000 (device) pixels:

Given that this is in cairo-ft-font, it only affects Linux and Android, not Windows or Mac. Bebas Neue is a sans-serif typeface designed in 2010 by Ryoichi Tsunekawa. The font used in the Netflix logo is Bebas Neue. 667px if devicePixelRatio is 1.5, etc), and this results in calculating a larger font-size to apply to the actual visible element. is an American media services provider and production company headquartered in Los Gatos, California, founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Scotts Valley, California. So when the code tries to use an element with font-size:1000px to measure some text, and devicePixelRatio > 1.0, we end up measuring with a smaller size (e.g. What you're running into here is the fact that the used font size in cairo-ft-font is clamped to a maximum of 1000 (device pixels): I'm going to move this to layout based on the above.

Figure there's some JS here setting the font size? Figure this is either layout (if its on our end), or Netflix's JS. It happens when you often see the same headings or specific words in the text and. Some fonts are memorized at the subconscious level. Fonts define the mood of not only the lettering but the whole image and support its style. The font-sizes differ depending on the size of the player, but are always larger in Linux for the same sized player.įor Chromium, both Windows and Linux end up with the same font-size, which is the same as we have on Windows. Choosing a suitable typeface for a company is a challenge. Here I see a difference in the font-size used depending on OS. For the same player size it behaves similarly on Windows and Linux:įor the first subtitle line there is another div, which appears to behave similarly on Windows and Linux for the same player size (I see slight differences, don't think they're relevant): This div is used to contain further elements that hold the subtitles. I see different sub sizes depending on OS, though even on Linux where my subs are comparatively large, it's not as stated as in the original shot.
