Major Topics for This Week

Shipping Open Sans and Charis fonts for Web Content

As part of the Readability 2.0 feature, bug 831354 landed in central after a heroic effort on part of UX and Johnathan Kew to correct test failures. We are removing the Reader Mode only use of Open Sans in bug 831883. Package size increased by about ~2MB. We are also looking into a talos regression bug 833000. Once we have that nailed down, we will figure out if this will ride the trains for Fx21 or if we’ll uplift to Fx20. The web content looks much nicer!

Scott (jwir3)

  • bug 803719 (Reflow-on-zoom should zoom in and snap to a piece of text) is almost complete. Scroll position maintenance code is in place, and working well. Debugging a couple of invalidation/screen-update issues. It seems as though, on zoom-out, the zoom happens, along with the reflow, but the screen doesn’t get repainted until the user scrolls and/or does something else that would generate a reflow.
  • Working also on bug 830645: allow text reflow automatically if default zoom is changed
