There are lots of unfortunate naming choices in CSS (e.g. `border-radius` instead of `corner-radius` or hyphen-less `currentcolor`). As far as I know, none of them have been improved (or deprecated) unless the new alternative also added new features (e.g. comma-less `rgb()` with “alpha” opacity). Would `font-width` do more than `font-stretch` does already? Similar changes I could imagine: - `font-height` as an extended superset of `font-size`, `font-size-adjust` and `line-height`, also dealing with optical sizes and sizing by cap-height vs. _x_-height vs. _dp_-height vs. _Å_-height vs. CJK-height etc. - `font-slope` or `font-slant` to deal with `oblique` (vs. `upright`) and arbitrary/variable angles, whereas `font-style` became a shorthand for this and other sub-properties for `italic` vs. `roman` (vs. `swash` vs. `cursive`/`continuous`/`connected`) or serifs, in a way that encompassed at least Arabic and East-Asian hands as well. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Crissov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/551#issuecomment-253339556 using your GitHub account
