Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] local() and variation fonts

[Migrated](https://github.com/litherum/csswg-drafts/issues/5#issuecomment-248095112)
 on behalf of @jfkthame:

This is just a special case of a more general problem with src:local()
 ... there's no way to know whether the locally-installed font with a 
given name is actually the font that was intended. In the worst case, 
there might be a completely unrelated font that happens to have the 
same name; more commonly, there may be many versions of a given font 
in existence, sharing the same name but with different character 
repertoires and other capabilities (OpenType features, for example). 
The author has no way of specifying what version or capabilities are 
required for the local font to be suitable.
