From 17512022e9f077893a227a3bf0732e05e2e1d22f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ai-ad4 Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2026 20:41:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(spike-C):=20hb-subset=20font=20growth;=20n?= =?UTF-8?q?ew=20glyph=20renders=20(=C2=A714=20step=206)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implement Spike C: grow an existing embedded subset font with a new glyph using hb-subset and verify the result, exercising §4.2 resolution ladder step 1. SubsetGrowth.cpp runs a three-step scenario with the HarfBuzz subset C API and FreeType: 1. Build the 'originally embedded' subset of DejaVu Sans with glyphs for 'Hello' (H,e,l,o). 2. Grow it by adding U+03A9 (Ω) — the character the user typed that wasn't in the original subset. Produces a NEW font; original untouched (§4.2: 'never mutate a font program in place'). 3. Verify: grown subset contains the glyph, cmap maps U+03A9 → gid, FreeType loads its outline (it renders); original subset does NOT contain it. Gate MET: original 5 glyphs/4300 bytes → grown 6 glyphs/4488 bytes, new glyph present and renders. Verified clean under ASan+UBSan. Result and findings in docs/spike-results/0003-spike-c-subset-growth.md. Findings: (1) hb-subset growth works and is cheap (+188 bytes/glyph). (2) HarfBuzz subset API changed across versions — HB_SUBSET_SETS_DROP doesn't exist in 10.2; pin the baseline (vcpkg manifest does). (3) FT_Get_Char_Index + FT_Load_Glyph is the right render-verification pair; the real viewer check (Acrobat/Preview/Chrome) remains a release gate (§8.3). (4) the 'never mutate in place' rule is honoured by construction (hb_subset_or_fail returns a new face). CI: add Spike C to the spike-gates job (libharfbuzz-dev, libfreetype-dev, fonts-dejavu-core); fails the build on regression.

Verified clean under +ASan+UBSan. + +## Findings + +1. **hb-subset growth works as designed.** Adding a codepoint to the input's + unicode set and re-running `hb_subset_or_fail` produces a new, valid + subset with the new glyph and a correct cmap, at a modest byte cost + (+188 bytes for one glyph on this font). This is the §4.2 step-1 + resolution path and it is viable. + +2. **HarfBuzz's subset API changed across versions.** The + `HB_SUBSET_SETS_DROP` set name used in older HarfBuzz does not exist in + 10.2; the input's unicode set plus the default `.notdef` retention is + sufficient. The plan should pin a HarfBuzz baseline (the vcpkg manifest + already does) and document the API shape, because this is the kind of + leaf-API drift that bites during upgrades. + +3. **FreeType's `FT_Get_Char_Index` + `FT_Load_Glyph` is the right + verification pair.** A cmap entry alone does not prove the glyph renders + — a subset could map a codepoint to a glyph id with no outline. Loading + the glyph with `FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE` and checking `format == + FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_OUTLINE` is the proof. This is the verification the + §4.2 "renders in Acrobat, Preview, and Chrome" gate reduces to when those + viewers aren't available in the test environment; the real viewer check + remains a release gate (§8.3 consumer-compatibility matrix). + +4. **The §4.2 "never mutate in place" rule is honoured by construction.** + `hb_subset_or_fail` returns a new face; the original `face` is only read. + This keeps undo cheap and prevents one page's edit from breaking + another's rendering — exactly the property §4.2 requires. + +## What this means for the project + +- **Font subset growth is feasible and cheap.** The hardest practical problem + in PDF editing (§4.2) has a working solution for the common case: the full + font is installed and we grow the subset.
