Setting the canvas font to a small-caps variant does not produce a small-caps effect. 

var can = document.getElementById('canvas1');
var ctx = can.getContext('2d');

ctx.font = "italic small-caps bold 22px verdana, tahoma, serif";
ctx.fillText("Test One Two Three", 50, 50);

Simple example: http://jsfiddle.net/vrS2B/

Other browsers:
  Chrome: Works
  iOS Safari: Works
  IE11: Does not work

Fixing this within the current architecture used for small-caps in HTML is hard.

But if we move the implementation of small-caps from layout (nsTextFrame.cpp and nsTextRunTransformations.cpp) over into gfx, making it an attribute of gfxFontStyle that is implemented at rendering time, it'll become trivial.

I have an experimental patch for this refactoring. I'll file a separate bug for that, and tidy up the patch for review; then we can make this dependent on it.

This issue is fixed by bug 1015603; here's a reftest for it.

Confirmed working in nightly. You guys are seriously the best in terms of bug response of all the browsers I deal with. By miles and miles.

Thank you so much.
