It sounds like using something like @fallback-font-sequence would associate a small set of CSS properties with each item in the font family list, where it is obvious how to apply each property in that small set to individual glyphs rather than full elements. In the related issue https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/450#issuecomment-245485065 we are investigating using this mechanism to better match fallback fonts to web fonts during the download of the web font. A small set of properties suggested are: `font-weight` `font-size` `letter-spacing` `word-spacing` `line-height` One thing we should consider is that, if these properties are all bundled up together into an at-rule, they don't cascade nicely. This means that if a web author wants to use an existing @fallback-font-sequence rule in a new context, but slightly modified, they would have to create a copy of the whole rule, including all the properties inside it. -- GitHub Notification of comment by litherum Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/126#issuecomment-245708960 using your GitHub account
