> Thanks again for the great description. What SVG is doing now makes perfect sense, and ideally we'd just tweak the current algorithm. Where we're currently scaling the graphics context by 1 / scalingFactor (SVGInlineTextBox::paintTextWithShadows and elsewhere), I think we should also be scaling it by the difference between the requested size and the actual. There's just no way to figure out what that delta is from the current font system... at least that I can find.

I'm sure there is CoreGraphics/CoreText SPI which Apple could add to WKSystemInterface if this ends up being the way to go.

Can your solution be implemented for other graphics libraries first?
