Subject: bug#73730: 31.0.50; Support for color fonts on MS-Windows

From: Cecilio Pardo <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2024 00:18:20 +0200

The attached patch works without a new font driver.

This requires the harfbuzz font backend to be available.

It works by modifying the harfbuzz backend to use DirectWrite at
some points, if it is available:

- When encoding characters: w32hb_encode_char
- When measuring text: w32font_text_extents
- When drawing text: w32font_draw

DirectWrite is setup by calling w32_initialize_direct_write.  From
that point, the function w32_use_direct_write will return true if
DirectWrite is to be used.

The lisp variable w32-inhibit-direct-write can switches it on and off.

It builds with Mingw64 and Mingw. As mingw doesn't have the DirectWrite 
includes, I had to declare a lot of things at the start of the file. 
This line marks the end of that:

/* End of dwrite_3.h definitions.  */

I have tested this only on Windows 11.

Subject: [PATCH] Implement drawing text with DirectWrite on MS-Windows.

This adds support for color fonts.

* configure.ac: Add src/w32drite to W32_OBJ
* src/w32dwrite.c: This is a new file.
(w32-initialize-direct-write): Initializes the DirectWrite library if
it is available, and required global variables.
(w32_use_direct_write): Allows to check if DirectWrite is available
and activated by the user.
(w32_dwrite_encode_char): Replacement for harfbuzz's encode_char.
(w32_dwrite_text_extents): Replacement for w32font text_extents.
(w32_dwrite_draw): Replacement for w32font draw.
(w32_dwrite_free_cached_face): Used on the font deletion process to
also delete DirectWrite data.
(verify_hr): Verify COM method results.
* src/w32font.c:
(w32font_text_extents): If DirectWrite is enabled, call
w32_dwrite_text_extents.
(w32font_draw): If DirectWrite is enabled, call w32_dwrite_draw.
* src/w32uniscribe.c:
(w32hb_encode_char): If DirectWrite is enabled, call
w32_dwrite_encode_char.
(syms_of_w32uniscribe_for_pdumper): Initialize DirectWrite.
(uniscribe_close): Free DirectWrite data for the font.
