dotCooCoo 26c77228b3 Type: a tabbed right-to-left line with negative tracking stops reading after a bounded number of breaks
Once a right-to-left line holds a tab and a glyph with a negative
advance, the least it can be drawn at no longer grows with its tab
stops, so a line that overflowed in the order of its text read on to
the end of the paragraph before settling its break. Setting every line
of a long paragraph that way took time quadratic in its length.

Such a line now reads at most 256 legal breaks past where it first
overflows in the order of its text, and ends at the latest break read
that fits as drawn, the same limit the breaker uses for breaks it
measures one by one. Lines without negative advances, and lines that
fit, keep their breaks.
