underline: exactly like qt
strikethough: from os2 table, otherwise qt-like fallback

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The drawing framework adds underline and strikeout position and thickness metrics to font interfaces. FreeType faces compute these metrics from face and OS/2 data with fallbacks. Metadata-backed faces parse and store the metrics. Delegated faces forward them from the wrapped face. FontsEngine exposes scaled metric accessors with fallback values. FontParams now includes disabled-by-default underline and strike fields.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6d53e

The PR adds underline and strikethrough metrics, but legacy font archives can produce invalid thickness values and some font positions may be rendered incorrectly; positional initialization compatibility is also at risk. These issues should be fixed before merging.

FreeType FT_Face underline_position underline_thickness TrueType OS/2 yStrikeoutPosition coordinate units baseline documentation

💡 Result:

In the FreeType library and OpenType specifications, underline and strikeout metrics are handled in distinct ways depending on the structure being accessed. FT_Face Underline Metrics The FT_FaceRec structure (the underlying type of FT_Face) contains fields for underline metrics directly [1][2]: - underline_position: Specifies the position of the underline in font units; it is defined as the center of the underlining stem [1][3]. - underline_thickness: Specifies the thickness of the underline in font units [1][3]. These values are generally derived from the TrueType 'post' table [4][5]. In the FreeType API, these are members of the FT_FaceRec struct and are only relevant for scalable font formats [1][2]. OS/2 Table Metrics The OS/2 table does not contain underline position or thickness fields. Instead, it contains strikeout metrics [6][7]: - yStrikeoutSize: Specifies the thickness of the strikeout stroke in font design units [6]. It is recommended that this value match the underline thickness found in the 'post' table [6]. - yStrikeoutPosition: Specifies the position of the strikeout stroke relative to the baseline in font design units [7]. Positive values indicate distances above the baseline, while negative values indicate distances below the baseline [7]. In summary: - Underline metrics (underline_position, underline_thickness) are located in the FT_Face structure (loaded from the 'post' table) [4][1]. - Strikeout metrics (yStrikeoutSize, yStrikeoutPosition) are located in the OS/2 table [6][7]. - All these values are expressed in font design units (also called font units) [1][6].

Citations:


Normalize decoration positions to the shared coordinate contract.

Use underlineThickness() in underlinePosition(). Negate yStrikeoutPosition, subtract half of strikeoutThickness(), and accept zero as a valid OS/2 position.

Handle metadata archives without decoration metrics.

The parser accepts missing decoration keys, while the stored values remain -1. FontsEngine only uses its 1.0 thickness fallback when no face exists. A loaded legacy archive can therefore return a negative decoration thickness.

  • framework/draw/internal/fontfacext.cpp#L108-L115: track required decoration keys and either provide compatible defaults before load() succeeds or reject an unsupported metadata version.
  • framework/draw/internal/fontfacext.h#L127-L130: do not expose sentinel values through a successfully loaded IFontFace; resolve unset values during load.

Preserve positional aggregate initialization.

FontParams has no positional initializers in this repository, but downstream users can initialize this aggregate positionally. Move underline and strike after pointSize to preserve the existing member order.
