Improper letter spacing in some cases

[glebkudr]

When I mix Cyrillic and Georgian alphabet, I have some weird bug when I switch from one to another

Two letters to play with ლ and Щ

Can you reproduce the issue in the playground and paste the HTML here? That downloads Noto Sans fonts and uses them.

If you're using node-canvas like the examples, it often draws text with the wrong font, especially on Linux. If that is the case, you may not see the issue in the playground. I'm in the midst of rewriting node-canvas's font stack and I might finish by the end of the year.

I can't reproduce it in the playground. Careful investigation shows that the problem is when we use Arial font instead of Noto fonts. Arial lacks the georgian glyphs and the error must be connected with this.

That would do it. You want to register all fonts with dropflow, even fallbacks, so registering Arial might fix it. Dropflow makes fillText calls on the original text even if it didn't produce glyphs, so the canvas is doing its own fallbacks. Painting glyphs directly is something I'm working on too, which would produce more obvious errors.
