Hi Yoav,
In first attempt link

we tried to ship all the attributes under TextMetrics API (in 2018).
Some definitions were not clear so we was not able to do it.
In second attempt
<https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/dTL2nW5mhGc>,
we shipped
actualBoundingBoxLeft, actualBoundingBoxRight, fontBoundingBoxAscent,
fontBoundingBoxDescent, actualBoundingBoxAscent,
actualBoundingBoxDescent, emHeightAscent and emHeightDescent.
In third attempt
<https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/GSmWjdqmgCA/m/F8YRklTQCQAJ>,
we shipped fontBoundingBoxAscent, fontBoundingBoxDescent
In this attempt, we are trying to ship alphabeticBaseline,
hangingBaseline and ideographicBaseline. Note that both Safari and
firefox have shipped it, so we will like to catch up on this.
Thank you,
Yi Xu

This is the 4th installment in extending the TextMetrics API

current canvas TextMetrics API exposes the actualBoundingBox
and the fontBoundingBox readings. The definition of baseline
is more clear now. Both Firefox and Safari have already
shipped this *extension to TextMetrics*.
Thanks for pushing through this!! Any details on why the past
attempts weren't successful?
The original feature bug (https://crbug.com/277215

Risks
Interoperability and Compatibility
Safari and Firefox have has already shipped these metrics in
the spec.
Firefox:<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1102584>Shipped

Safari:Shipped <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157629>
We know this is a feature requested by developers (as well as
internal Google teams like Google Docs). This API will help
developers have more control and more accurate text rendering.
As of today a different way to achieve this is by using
rendering text to the DOM and using getBoundingClientRect to
get some measurements. This process requires a relayout of the
page.
