Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] incorporate mitigations for font based fingerprinting (#4055)

@snyderp We all agree privacy is very important. I think no one want to "be heavy on attacking a single suggestion" in the whole thread. But as @yisibl and I point out, current Safari solution have bigger impact on CJK users than others because the alternative workaround (use webfont) have much bigger cost/difficulties for CJK fonts (and considering other factor like partition cache, such cost will be even bigger).

I believe that's the problem the working groups (CSS WG + privacy WG + other related WG like i18n, etc.) need to working together and figure out.
