The current version 2.5 is from September 2014, which is almost 8 years
old now. The new version 3.19.0 is from November 2017, which is still
almost 5 years old, but is a step forward towards eventually using the
most recent version. Note that we currently can't update any further;
see #11802 for the details.
Fortunately using this newer version only required a few changes:
- The `ttx` output regexes needed updating to ignore comments that `ttx`
now puts after some XML nodes (`<!-- ... -->` and `/* ... */`).
- The `ttx` invocation now explicitly uses `python2` (except on Windows
where this alias doesn't exist) since otherwise the font tests can't
be run on modern systems anymore given that `python` is nowadays an
alias for `python3`, and it now points at the new location of the
`ttx.py` file since the `Tools` folder got removed.
- The note about needing a 32-bit Python 2.6 version is dropped since
it's obsolete: this version (and also the existing one already) work
just fine on a 64-bit Python 2.7 as well.
This patch first of all enables linting of the files in the `test/font/` folder, and secondly it also re-factors all test files to use native `import`/`export` statements. Finally, all tests are now loaded correctly, rather than being included as scripts through the `font_test.html` file.
Currently the built-in CMap files are loaded in `src/core/cmap.js` using `XMLHttpRequest` directly. For some environments that might be a problem, hence this patch refactors that to instead use a factory to load built-in CMaps on the main thread and message the data to the worker thread.
This is inspired by other recent work, e.g. the addition of the `CanvasFactory`, and to a large extent on the IRC discussion starting at http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23pdfjs&s=12+Oct+2016&e=12+Oct+2016#c53010.
