Comment (by gacar):

 Brilliant! I think this also makes fixing the multi-frame issue in
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5798#comment:13 #5798]
 more important.

 Since it is the font-limit that bounces this attack, and one can embed
 multiple canvases in different iframes.

 BTW I just remember that I once tested if font-limits apply to canvas as
 well:
 http://jsbin.com/ferit/
 As your findings also confirm the limits apply to canvas, which is good.

 Back then apparently I was aware that measureText can be used for
 fingerprinting, but I guess I thought it gives more or less the same info
 as CSS offsetWidth/Height measurement. Having seen dcf's demo with
 transformations (comment 7), now I'm not very sure about that...
