Dylan M. Taylor 1d7a9f9ffe fix(edit,a11y): font aliases share the metrics built for their font (#5998)
* fix(edit,a11y): font aliases share the metrics built for their font

Text extraction and heading extraction built and kept font metrics per resource name, so
many names for one font object each held a copy of its Unicode and width tables.

* fmt

* address review: font metrics are cached by the object at the end of the reference chain

Layer L4: accessibility (execution plan M12.3). Today: the Accessibility Checker's full check.

let report = check(&doc, &Options::default());          // 31 of 32 rules (colour contrast off)
let html = report_html(&report, "file.pdf", "2026-10-02", "en", &in_english);  // or an interface's words
  • 32 rules in 7 categories, as in Acrobat's full check: Document (permission flag, image-only, tagged, reading order, language, title, bookmarks, colour contrast), Page Content (tagged content, tagged annotations, tab order, character encoding, tagged multimedia, and four manual checks), Forms (tagged fields, descriptions), Alternate Text (figures, nested, associated with content, hides annotation, other elements), Tables (rows, cells, headers, regularity with row/column spans, summary), Lists (items, Lbl/LBody) and Headings (nesting).
  • Each result is Passed, Failed (with findings and pages), Needs manual check, or Skipped.
  • Content checks walk the page content streams (and form XObjects) tracking marked content: painting outside MCID-marked or /Artifact content is untagged.
  • Character encoding accepts a predefined non-Identity CJK CMap or an Adobe CJK character collection (GB1, CNS1, Japan1, Korea1, KR), including Identity-H/V. Unknown CMaps and foreign registries do not establish that route. This is a font-level declaration check, not validation of every ToUnicode entry or used glyph.
  • Structure checks read the structure tree through the role map; table regularity counts ColSpan/RowSpan attributes.
  • The report is a self-contained HTML page. Fixes that edit the document (language, title, tab order) live in the engine (Document::accessibility_fix).

Not yet: autotagging, the Tags/Order/Content panels, the Reading Order tool (M12.1–M12.2).
