Explainer https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/10873 Specification https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/10873 Summary The <canvas> DOM element, like all DOM elements, accepts a `lang` attribute that is used to define language specific treatment for font selection (when fonts have locale specific glyphs). Browsers respect this attribute. However, when an OffscreenCanvas is created there is no way to set locale information, possibly resulting in a state where an offscreen canvas produces rendered results that differ from the canvas in which it's output is used. This feature adds a `lang` IDL attribute to CanvasTextDrawingStyles to give developers direct control over the language for the text drawing and metrics. Blink component Blink>Canvas Motivation Provide a way to set the primary language for font resolution in OffscreenCanvas, so that offscreen and regular canvas content uses the same font information. This is blocking Canvas Text Metrics Additions because it was raised in the spec discussion.
