fonts: testing font sizes

enumerating fonts is slow, and just saying “hey you have these system fonts” is boring. So lets collect sizes. Now, it’s bit pointless (and SLOW) testing fonts that the user is expected to have and there is a size collision

for example: TB on linux bundles 140 font files (for 134 fonts) and all fonts are restricted to those. But something like 53 of those fonts are all the exact same size, so we could drop 52 of those … and there are some other buckets of sizes with multiple fonts in them. Since they are all expected, we only need to measure one of each size

for example: on windows

		// ignore: expected + dupe sizes
			// "SimSun-ExtB", // = MS Gothic
			// "MS UI Gothic", // = MS PGothic
			// "Segoe UI Symbol", // = Segoe UI
			// "Cambria", // = cambria math
			// "Helvetica","Small Fonts" // = Arial (which we catch if not in fonts, in bases)
			// "Courier", //  = courier new
			// "MS Serif","Roman","Times", // = TNR
			// "MS Sans Serif", // = Microsoft Sans Serif

and there’s likely more: such as “Cordia New” and “CordiaUPC” always seem to be bundled together (I just need to check) and they are the same size. Same with “Browallia New”, “BrowalliaUPC” | “Angsana New”, “AngsanaUPC” …

what I’m lacking is some data sets to make decisions: for example, of the 232 legit windows font names being tested, I do not have 102 of them on my windows 7

Am after TB on linux, FF on windows 8/8.1/10/11, FF mac. For Firefox, disable RFP so I can get size collisions for all the fonts you may have

STR

• if Firefox, flip RFP off
• https://arkenfox.github.io/TZP/tzp.html
• open console
• type listfontsizes() and hit enter
• paste the results here
• flip RFP back on if required

here is my windows 7

3072 x 294 : FangSong, SimHei, SimSun
3072 x 298.5 : KaiTi, NSimSun, 宋体
3072 x 299.5 : BatangChe, DotumChe, GungsuhChe, 굴림체
3072 x 307.2 : MS Gothic, MS Mincho
3072 x 310 : DFKai-SB, MingLiU_HKSCS-ExtB, 細明體
3072 x 316.5 : MingLiU, MingLiU-ExtB, MingLiU_HKSCS
3728.26 x 316.5 : PMingLiU, PMingLiU-ExtB
3967.7 x 294 : Mongolian Baiti, Times New Roman
3976.26 x 296.5 : MS Shell Dlg, Microsoft Sans Serif

thanks for the mac info - definitely some saving to be made there (but I also need to expand the list with changes in the last two releases and additional option downloadable system fonts). I’ve been working on Tor Browser linux/windows fonts and FF windows fonts. I don’t have a mac but will be working on those next - see https://github.com/arkenfox/TZP/issues/197 - @fxbrit will be getting some home assignments

windows
   all  205 (was 251)
   rfp   69 (was 115) (kBaseFonts - size collisions of expected)
    tb   81 (was 159) (whitelist - size collisions of expected)

linux
    tb   60 (was 134)

mac is currently

   all  438 (this is too large)
   rfp  213 (kBaseFonts)
    tb   26 (whitelist - bundled (expected)) [note: still to add 123 bundled - size collisions]
