My previous comment about maxima is incorrect. https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec180/fvar.htm lists that weight "Values must be in the range 1 to 1000." I think this is a problem in the OpenType spec since super-duper-heavy fonts should be allowed (but this is not the right forum to discuss that). However, regarding percentages, my comment about the typographic community still stands. In addition, since a weight of 1000 has no semantic meaning other than "the largest value the OpenType spec supports," it seems reasonable that this threshold may be increased or even eliminated in the future. Similarly, one of the most important tenants of the Web is that it is not beholden to any single vendor, so adopting this maximum directly from OpenType would be unfortunate (and because other font formats may not have such a maximum). Would you mind if I retitled this issue to mark it as regarding percentages in font-weight, font-stretch, and font-style? -- GitHub Notification of comment by litherum Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/487#issuecomment-247497975 using your GitHub account
