Details

In a number of places in layout, we need to be able to measure text width for text as it is rendered (e.g. selection, caret), including word or letter spacing, small caps etc. There is currently no method, either in nsTextFrame, or GFX, that does the kind of stuff that TextFrame::PaintTextSlowly does for measuring text width, e.g. measuring the width of text that has word or letter spacing or small caps. This is the reason why selecting over text with letter spacing does bad stuff now.
