This comes out of a design philosophy review on what we include when we embed OSK data into KMX. We will now avoid embedding font name into the OSK (and hence .kmx) altogether, and leave that metadata to the packaging data. Reasons: 1. The font information is specified in the .kps, so we have to do a patchup on the .kmx during packaging if we want to embed the info into the OSK. 2. The referenced font must be supplied separately anyway (via .kmp, @font-face, or system supplied, etc), so including the font facename in the keyboard is not really all that helpful. 3. Philosophically, the font is really a presentation level factor (aside from displaymap considerations). Keeping it together with future theming and styling choices, rather than the key layout data, seems appropriate. 4. This makes fewer places where font data is referenced -- in fact, to just one place: in the .kps/.kmp for LDML keyboards, which is great. This also simplifies some aspects of the embed-osk-in-kmx work, removing the need to patch the .kmx after the build, and eliminates the smelly kmx-plus-osk-token.ts file. A corresponding change has been made to the design document referenced in #14857. Test-bot: skip |
