Last time I checked, measuring font sizes using the canvas was horribly slow. So, I wonder how they perform measurements necessary for automatic line-wrapping, et cetera. Are they doing these measurements fully in javascript?

Ok, that is a pity. I wonder if it has something to do with the complexity of implementing measureText fully in javascript.
