fillText ignores line wrapping. You'll probably have to roll
your own solution that splits the text appropriately and calls
fillText for each line. Be wary of solutions out there in
the web, as they often use unreliable shortcuts to "calculate"
line heights. If you're making a one-platform, one-font solution,
you can probably survive with hard-coding line offsets. Otherwise
you'll have to decide which downsides of the approaches you can
live with.
