when i size a string in canvas with a css font, i expect that a span containing the same string and the same css font returns the same width (style.with property), given zero border/maring and zero padding settings. this is not the case in safari (any version, any OS). works as expected in the other major browsers.

The situation has improved in the meantime substantially. The issue is mostly resolved. However, text sizing is still wrong sometimes if you set the font every tome before sizing, even if that font is already set.

Sorry, should read: The situation has improved in the meantime substantially. The issue is mostly resolved. However, text sizing is still wrong sometimes _unless_ you set the font every time before sizing, even if that font is already set.
