Canvas's measureText shouldn't throw SecurityError

[shhnjk]

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/canvas.html#dom-context-2d-measuretext

If doing these measurements requires using a font that has an origin that is not the same as that of the Document object that owns the canvas element (even if "using a font" means just checking if that font has a particular glyph in it before falling back to another font), then the method, when invoked, must throw a "SecurityError" DOMException.

Cross-origin fonts are loaded with CORS enabled requests. Satisfying CORS should mean that Document object that owns the canvas element has access to the font even though it's not same-origin per origin cencept. Therefore "SecurityError" should not be thrown.

Thanks, how would you like to be acknowledged? I couldn't find you.

I'm not sure how acknowledgement look like in WHATWG but maybe something like Jun KoKatsu? If you can't link then only the name would be fine too :)

[annevk]

Only names, but we support all of Unicode if that's of interest. 😊

I don't expect everyone to be able to read my name in Japanese Kanji so english one's fine :)

[annevk]

For Kanji we typically list both, e.g., 黒澤剛志 (Kurosawa Takeshi).
