Description
The DOM element, like all DOM elements, accepts a lang
attribute that is used to define language specific treatment for font selection (when fonts have locale specific glyphs). Browsers respect this attribute. However, when an OffscreenCanvas is created there is no way to set locale information, possibly resulting in a state where an offscreen canvas produces rendered results that differ from the canvas in which it's output is used. This feature adds a lang
IDL attribute to CanvasTextDrawingStyles to give developers direct control over the language for the text drawing and metrics.
