Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Tag Review Request: Canvas TextMetrics (#302)

At first glance it looks like some useful metrics are missing, specifically ex height and cap height (also mathematical baseline?).

My primary concern here is coordination with the Houdini Font Metrics API, first that I don't want to have multiple (and different) ways of getting font metric data, second that the Houdini Font Metrics API work seems to have stalled. One of the issues there was discovering that the problem was more complex than originally thought and a lack of relevant expertise.

We do need a good font metrics API for the platform and I'm glad to see this is getting worked on.
