Comment #29 on issue 11269 by [email protected]: [Snow Leopard] Upgrading Snow Leopard from Leopard : Chrome shows gibberish text instead of website actual text http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=11269
Workarounds tested: 1) Try to load font in browser process in hopes that the Font Server will cache it and no disk access will be required when loaded in the renderer - FAIL. 2) Load font in renderer process on startup in hopes it will be cached when the Sandbox is enabled - WORKS, font cache appears to be per process. 3) Load font from an mmapped buffer - works. I did some timing tests on using the NSFont constructor to let the system load the fonts for us vs. initializing the font from a block of memory. results aren't conclusive since I couldn't figure out what cache to clear to get clean timing data (tried `purge` and clearing font cache with atsutil) but both approaches seem to take 5-8ms to load Arial. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
