please make sure that the fonts allow for getting and setting of baseline, descenders, letter spacing, kerning to allow for overriding letter spacing for specific characters, outlines of the glyphs, and other text features that would allow for someone to really bring the canvases power for maybe rich text editor, layout engine, and other features that may even allow for creating a full blown text editor with text flowing between text elements across pages like a news papers “contained on page 36”.
I’d really like to see text elements overflow feature in HTML today to not only tell you that you overflowed, but that in the object it returned it told you the character index or range that caused the overflow, or even the word and its index into the data string being put into the text element. With that info you could use JavaScript to react to the overflow like it does now, but the object returned would have more data that just that it had overflowed. With that extra data we could build a newspaper like solution. But right now overflow doesn’t return those
Extra tidbits of data.
