Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] [Variable Fonts] Angle direction of font-style

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Variable Fonts - Angle direciton of font-style`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;gregwhitworth> Topic: Variable Fonts - Angle direciton of font-style<br>
&lt;astearns> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3091<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> chris: it's about the slant axis and the range of values that are supported<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> chris: the opentype spec takes negative values that it slants in an odd direction<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> chris: every single example I've seen uses a positive angle<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> chris: when you're using high level things, like font-style you need to use positive integers<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> chris: but we also need to take into account the lower level things and you have to pass in specifically what the font is asking for<br>
&lt;fantasai> wfm<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> chris: for font-style a positive angle will make a forward slant and under the hood it will map to what the font needs<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> astearns: the lower level will just pass through what is written by the author<br>
&lt;bradk> +1<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> fantasai: it makes sense to me<br>
&lt;florian> sounds good to me. let's make things sane for people<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> myles: this is similiar to how we handled optical sizing<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> Proposed Resolution: Higher level properties a positive angle will be a forward leaning slant, lower level properties will be what is written by the author<br>
&lt;gregwhitworth> Resolved<br>
