Antoine BoxhoandBrandon Thomas 1c8c352cf5 #1549: one Thai face for a run in a missing Thai font (#2175)
A paragraph in a Thai font that isn't installed (TH Sarabun New, Angsana
New, Cordia New, the UPC families…) drew its Thai letters in one fallback
face and the Latin letters, digits and baht sign in a Latin substitute at
a visibly different size. Word substitutes one font (Cordia New) for the
whole run.

Thai families now have their own substitute lists (Cordia New and
Leelawadee UI on Windows, Thonburi on macOS, Noto Sans Thai and the TLWG
fonts on Linux; serif families prefer Angsana New, Sathu or Noto Serif
Thai), and the first listed face with Latin letters and digits as well
as Thai wins. When the substitute still lacks some of the run's Thai or
Latin text, the run moves to one face covering it through
FontDb::fallback_for_run, the generalised East Asian run fallback. Only
Thai fonts get this: a missing Latin font keeps Latin text in its own
substitute, a run with its own complex-script font keeps it for the Thai
letters, and a missing roman-classed Thai font is no longer drawn in
Cambria.
