upsuper has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-fonts-4] May want different properties for font matching and variation value == Before we have variable fonts, `font-weight` property is only used for font matching, and thus authors can map a weight to whatever font face they want regardless of the designed weight of the font. However, with variable fonts, `font-weight` property is now used for both font matching and choosing value for variation, which means authors lose the ability describe above. I suppose this applies to other properties involving font matching as well, e.g. `font-style`, `font-stretch`. (I'm not sure whether it is an important issue, though, since I'm not a typical frontend developer or designer.) cc @litherum @nattokirai Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/528 using your GitHub account
