This is a tracking bug for font rendering on OFC and OFC/Worker.
For Main thread OFC, it's as simple as updating the spec/IDL for OFCRenderingContext2D to support text rendering:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-offscreen-2d-rendering-context
but that depends on OFC/Worker working.
For that:
- add support for the FonfFace interface on Worker. It's already spec'ed out (even thought the spec is a bit outdated and could use an update: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-font-loading/#fontfacesource-workers)
- enable OFC/Worker font rendering
I'll create separate bugs for FontFace and text rendering, but I'll keep this as an overall tracking bug.
