Yup it does, and it's been recently added to the spec (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#text http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#text). Unfortunately, the font rendering as currently in the spec won't return the path of the font, which is a feature that allows nodebox to do some really neat things (eg http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/LetterKnitter http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/LetterKnitter).
