I think that exposing it in JS and in dev tools is a good way to make a font's capabilities known, though as @svgeesus points out, the font should come with documentation and a sample page that shows it all off, but that's on the font vendor, not the browser. As a designer, I would be ok with reliably being able to use browser dev tools or a JS library to figure out what's possible, so I can then make decisions about how I want to use those capabilities. My current workflow tends to be 'get font, drag on to wakamaifondue.com, copy axes and values into my CSS as a set of comments for reference' - rinse, and repeat for every font I encounter. Having a way to do that more natively integrated in a browser or editor (VS Code plugin anyone?) would be really helpful. (While my comments above are focused on variable font axes, the same would be true for OpenType features) -- GitHub Notification of comment by jpamental Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/520#issuecomment-468047524 using your GitHub account
