Currently, fillText is using the function isSpaceOrNewline which is defined in StringImpl.h . The function isSpaceOrNewline returns true for any space character including the ideographic space character U+3000. And, we need a function which returns true only for those space characters mentioned in the spec. An ideographic space should not be replaced by U+0020.

The function shouldSpaceBeReplaced() which I have defined in StringImpl.h, supports the text preparation algorithm defined in the spec. This text preparation algorithms could be used by other html elements as well, right? With the above idea in mind, I defined this function here. Do you think that this should be moved to CanvasRenderingContext2D?
