However this needs to happen also if such a font wasn't actually used to draw into the canvas, but was attempted to be used. I.e. if you do something like cx.font = "fontA, fontB"; cx.fillText(str, 0, 0); if fontA is a non-CORS cross-site font, but fontB isn't. Even if the text ends up being drawn using only fontB, that leaks information about which characters are in fontA and thus the canvas should be tainted. 48224 1 ian 2011-05-06 20:03:05 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

It's not like non-font files are going to accidentally be interpreted as fonts, either, this information has to have actually been put in a font somehow. 48225 2 contributor 2011-05-06 20:03:39 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r6105.
