Marijn is a wizard and ProseMirror is an incredible piece of software, but Marijn isn't dealing with text rendering issues. I'm obviously oversimplifying but here goes: ProseMirror is a wrapper over contenteditable and gives us all the control we need. However, it's still the contenteditable that takes care of text rendering and cursor selections.
The real people dealing with those issues are folks working on Zoho Writer or Google Docs - who ship their own text layout engine as part of their rich text editor :)
If there's an open source initiative that wraps over ProseMirror but renders to their own layout engine - that would be a one kickass project!
