A few comments: The default for "font" is actually "10px sans-serif" rather than 12px. You may wish to phrase the description of shadowOffset* to say that it is unaffected by the current transformation matrix rather than saying it offsets by pixels, but that's really a matter of taste, I suppose. It may not be worth mentioning, but the "hanging" and "ideographic" baselines are currently not supported. They are silently treated like the "alphabetic" baseline.
