The FontCache caches the result of font lookups. The cache key is a
simple object called FontSelector which consists of the font family
and font weight (both strings.)
This drastically reduces time spent in font lookup.
This patch makes it possible to call Node::invalidate_style() and have
that node and all of its ancestors recompute their style.
We then figure out if the new style is visually different from the old
style, and if so do a paint invalidation with set_needs_display().
Note that the "are they visually different" code is very incomplete!
Use this to make hover effects a lot more efficient. They no longer
cause a full relayout+repaint, but only a style invalidation.
Style invalidations are still quite heavy though, and there's a lot of
room for improvement there. :^)
We currently hard-code the line height to 140% of the font glyph height
and this patch doesn't fix the hard-coding, but at least moves it out
of LayoutText and into StyleProperties where it can be re-used until
the day we go and do a proper implementation of CSS line-height. :^)
Instead of using string everywhere, have the CSS parser produce enum
values, since they are a lot nicer to work with.
In the future we should generate most of this code based on a list of
supported CSS properties.
Since LayoutText inherits all of its style information from its parent
Element anyway, it makes more sense to load the font at a higher level.
And since the font depends only on the style and nothing else, this
patch moves font loading (and caching) into StyleProperties. This could
be made a lot smarter to avoid loading the same font many times, etc.
The default style for "a" tags now has { color: -libhtml-link; }.
We implement this vendor-specific property by querying the containing
document for the appropriate link color.
Currently we only use the basic link color, but in the future this can
be extended to remember visited links, etc.
Also remove the color values from the ComputedStyle object and get them
via StyleProperties instead.
At the moment, we only handle colors that Color::from_string() parses.
