Comment 3 for bug 1990766

Hi Kovid, Thanks for looking at this so quickly. I tried it out by running from source using the test epub from this thread in the Editor.

1. ::first-letter seems to work OK.

2. ::first-line has a problem retaining the italics from the word 'loathed' in the next-to-last paragraph. Font file BMinProSC-Italic.ttf is completely discarded as you can see in the Subsetting report pop-up. It was a little confusing because if you only look at the Editor Preview panel then the italics look as if they have been correctly retained. I can only assume the previewer is displaying simulated italics.

I ran a similar test by replacing the <i> tags with <b> tags before subsetting. This time BMinProSC-Bold.ttf was incorrectly discarded. In fact, no matter what I tried, only BMinProSC-Regular.ttf survived the subsetting process. The good news is that the Regular ttf does appear to have retained all the necessary chars.

Please let me know if you need more info.
