Limitations

This page lists known issues to which I have no (elegant) solutions.

Reflowable Text

Dedicated page

Stroked Text

In PDF, different colors (or transparent) can be specified for outline and inside of text.

• WebKit supports text-stroke-color & text-fill-color. No problem.
• For Firefox, text-stroke-color may be simulated by drop shadows in 4 different directions
• But how about when fill-color is transparent?
• No need to mention IE...

Text with clipping path

In PDF, a path may be used to limit the region of display, which is not supported in HTML/CSS

• At least detect if the text is visible, if not, don't show it in HTML (Working in progress).
• When the clipping path is a rectangle, may use a
  to simulate, slow ?
• To render them in the background image, and create a hidden text layer on top of it (like PDF.js)

Type 3 fonts

Glyphs in a type 3 font is actually a mini-PDF.

• How to dump to out
• Fontforge seems to support type 3 fonts

Writing mode fonts

Text go top-down, right-left, instead of left-right top-down.

• HTML supports such fonts?
• How to position them in HTML?
