> The canvas text metrics API and the forthcoming Houdini text metrics API expose some other font-driven information. However, these APIs give you information about a line (or lines) of text, and would include things like fallback fonts. Yes. At the early Houdini meetings the assumption was that Houdini would produce a font metrics API, to query features of a particular font (and with the advent of variation fonts, a particular instance). However, over time that was seen as less important for pollyfiller-writers than metrics on fonts used together in a text segment, which eventually became the text metrics API. There is still a need to query an individual font instance. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/520#issuecomment-273431418 using your GitHub account
