I have a mixed feeling on this. The font designer is saying "I want my font to have different metrics per platform". The web author is saying "I want to use this font, but ignore what the font designer wants for the metrics, and use Windows (or one of others) metrics on all platforms". I agree with @litherum that the best solution is to use the font that doesn't have platform-specific metrics. I see other requests to set baseline at the very specific position, using absolute length, and I think it's a valid request. I originally thought this issue is in the same bucket, but as discussion goes, it turns out this issue is asking to pick one of platform-specific metrics on all platforms. That is more complicated than controlling baseline positions using absolute length. -- GitHub Notification of comment by kojiishi Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2228#issuecomment-380749575 using your GitHub account
