add underline/strikethrough metrics to font engine - #236
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe 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. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 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. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)

shared coordinate contract: update underlinePosition() to derive its thickness
via underlineThickness(), and update strikeoutPosition() to accept any present
OS/2 yStrikeoutPosition including zero, negate that position, and subtract half
of strikeoutThickness().

- Around line 108-115: Ensure the metadata parser tracks whether underline and
strikeout position/thickness keys were present, and resolve missing values to
compatible non-negative defaults before load succeeds, or reject unsupported
metadata versions. Update the loading logic around the decoration fields in

framework/draw/internal/fontfacext.h lines 127-130 requires no direct API
change, but successfully loaded IFontFace instances must never expose the -1
sentinels.

- Around line 152-153: In the FontParams aggregate, move the underline and
strike members to after pointSize, preserving all existing member declarations
and their types so downstream positional initialization retains the prior member
order.

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].

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.

no, this metrics are taken from freetype, we don't simply connect one to another

@alexpavlov96, agreed. FreeType provides the raw underline metrics, and the OS/2 table provides the raw strikeout metrics.
The finding does not propose deriving strikeout metrics from underline metrics. It concerns coordinate conversion only. underlinePosition() already negates the FreeType position because the renderer uses the opposite Y direction. strikeoutPosition() needs the same conversion for yStrikeoutPosition. It must also convert the metric center position to the decoration edge position.
The underlineThickness() call only ensures that the position adjustment uses the same clamped thickness that the caller receives.

could you explain what all these new metrics means?

You added new metrics to IFontsEngine, but you should add the same to FontMetrics class. This needs to be done across the entire call stack, including FontProvider and QFontProvider.
Also adding tests to fontsprovider_qt_tests is necessary to avoid regression in the future and to make sure new metrics match the ones in Qt.

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