robmck-ms has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-fonts-4] [varfont] Allow font-variation-settings to use named values from STAT table == The font-variation-settings property enables web designers to directly address instances of a variable font by numeric value. E.g. "font-variation-settings: 'FNCY' 9000". The difficulty is: for nonstandard axes (e.g. those created by the font designer), there's no way to know what numeric value to use for a given use. Font designers would have to post instructions with the font, and designers will need to remember or look them up. The STAT table in an OpenType variable font gives font designers a way to name points along an axis. It would be nice if user-agents could use the information from that table to allow named values for axes. E.g. "font-variation-settings: 'FNCY' 'Super Fancy'" or "font-variation-settings: 'FNCY' 'boring'".
