Oliver's Site essay http://www.oliverh.com/ Sat, 22 Dec 2007 07:53:31 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2-ppt DokuWiki http://www.oliverh.com/lib/images/favicon.ico Oliver's Site http://www.oliverh.com/ Text Rendering on a HTML canvas http://www.oliverh.com/essay/canvas-text?rev=1160668162 One often mentioned shortcoming of the HTML canvas element is drawing text, or to be more precise, the lack of this functionality. This lack seems to be intentional. To quote the current working draft (September 2006): “ [D]rawing text is not supported in this version of the API (there is no way to predict what metrics the fonts will have, which makes fonts very hard to use for painting)” Thu, 12 Oct 2006 17:49:22 +0100
