Java software was sometimes often a particularly bad offender because java made it even easier to do this shit. Here's an example from people that really should have known better.... https://searchcode.com/file/19737045/fop-1.0/src/java/org/apache/fop/fonts/autodetect/WindowsFontDirFinder.java/ - https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/

Brilliant! It's super important that stuff like this exists, demystifying the magic boxes of browser rendering engines.
It would be great if we could create a full machine readable spec for html and CSS rendering, so that renderers can be generated. Browser quirks could then be extensions to that. Like https://github.com/tawesoft/html5spec but used for real engines.
