Created attachment 340475 [details] Test See test page. For each section I have a table cell that covers the full colored div. In the cell is vertically centered text. On top of the cell is a canvas that covers the full colored div. I render the same text with textAlign center and textBaseline middle. The text animates side to side to show alignment. For English, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew and Tamil, the alignment is pretty spot on. For Korean and Tamil, the alignment is off by at most one point. For Arabic, the alignment is off by more than one point.

FWIW, Chrome and Firefox also do not align perfectly on all languages either, but which languages differ and how they differ are not the same as Safari.
