How to replace background-clip: text in IE 11?

Question

css

It is known that background-clip is not supported in IE 11, however the text needs to be made gradient. In addition, there is a polyfill for IE 11 - https://codepen.io/TimPietrusky/pen/cnvBk - however it works with images, not linear gradients (because you need to specify a URL when calling backgroundClipPolyfill , which is not possible with linear-gradient instead of an image seems possible). How to get out of this situation?

Answer 1

Create a gradient in a bitmap.

Answer 2

People say you can use an svg mask starting as far back as Oslo 9.
