Can't you determine the size from the accessible version you are doubtless creating inside the <canvas> element? ;-) (This assumes that if you draw a string in 8px Monaco on a <canvas>, and do the same thing in a <span>, the span will have the same size as the canvas version. But that seems to make sense to me.) > context.drawText(x,y,string); context.getFontAscent(); > context.getFontDescent(); > context.getFontLeading(); Hang on; can we even get these for existing text styled with CSS in web pages?
