I cannot for the life of me repro the original bug. I've got fonts with bad permissions SxS, I've tried installing a font twice, I've tried stopping the font cache service. No idea how to manually repro the original bug.
BUT theoretically, this function should never throw. So lets just switch this to a `LOG_IF_FAILED`, and hope that this goes away?
* [x] Fixes#10211?
* [x] built & ran manually.
Unclear if this can get cherry-picked trivially to 1.8. Code's pretty trivial though so if we need another PR for that, it can be arranged.
Reduce instances of font fallback dialog through package font loading,
basic name trimming, and revised fallback test
- Adjusts the font dialog to only show when we attempt last-chance
resolution from our hardcoded list of font names with a flag instead
of with a string comparison by name
- Adds a resolution step to trim the font name by word from the end and
retry to attempt to resolve a proper font that just has a weight
suffix
- Adds a second font collection to font loading that will attempt to
locate all TTF files sitting next to our binary, like in our package
- [x] Wrote my font preference in the JSON as `Cascadia Code Heavy` and
watched it quietly resolve to just `Cascadia Code` without the dialog.
- [x] Put a font that isn't registered with the system into the layout
directory for the package, set it as my desired font in Terminal, and
watched it load just fine.
- [x] Try a font name with different casing and see if dialog doesn't
pop anymore
- [x] Try a font with different (localized) names like ＭＳ ゴシック and
see if dialog doesn't pop anymore
- [x] Check Win7 with WPF target
Closes#9375
This is my attempt to isolate all the dwrite font related thing by
introducing a new layer - `DxFontRenderData`. This will free
`DxRenderer` & `CustomTextLayout` from the burden of handling fonts &
box effects. The logic is more simplified & streamlined.
In short I just moved everything fonts-related into `DxFontRenderData`
and started from there. There's no modification to code logic. Just pure
structural stuff.
