Chartsjs 2 (Alpha) not working in IE8 (even with excanvas)

Yes, it is compatible.

I did used excanvas.js and es5-shim.js to give IE8 the tools to draw canvas and some javascript methods as foreach or map.

Also I did changed a bit the excanvas.js library… i just commented the above line:

this.textMeasureEl_.style.font = this.font;
