One more edge case: I'm not sure how to convert the font-size component in: ctx.font = "menu"; to pixels, since it doesn't really have a font-size component. For the ctx.font getter, should it stay as-is, should the whole thing be computed, or did you intend to allow system fonts in the first place? -David -- L.
