 > We could change canvas measureText() to return a rounded number or
 disable it entirely, but it may not be worth it.  A real solution will
 require fixing #13313 or another approach.

 Wouldn't it make sense to put the `measureText()` behind the canvas dialog
 until we get the bundled fonts ready? I thought this was the idea in
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13021 #13021] and I
 assume #13313 may take some time, though, dcf may have a better estimate.
