Good summary. I agree that we need access to both the standard axes 9weight, width, slant, optical) and also to custom axes (perhaps using CSS custom properties, but maybe that needs custom descriptors too?) One additional benefit of variable fonts for the Web is reduced download size. Instead of two or more separate downloads (one for each weight) a single font provides a range of weights. So implementers more focused on performance than on typographic excellence should still be interested in this new capability. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/498#issuecomment-247948011 using your GitHub account
