It's the responsibility of the page designer to make sure the text they 
are measuring is styled the same as the text they want the metrics of.

According to the current API suggestion, the styling of the text in a 
canvas will not be affected by the style of parent elements, but will be 
defined by the style of the pseudo element name passed to the drawText 
function.
