AmeliaBR has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-fonts] Is it "webfont" or "web font"? ==
Zach Leatherman posed [the question of the community on Twitter](https://twitter.com/zachleat/status/892422566094282752): web fonts or webfonts?

Which resulted in the observation that [CSS Fonts 4](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/) currently uses both forms.  ([CSS Fonts 3](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-3/), in contrast, was firmly in the whitespace-separator camp.)

Now, I voted for two words, for clarity, but as with all things web standards, my main concern is consistency. Pick one & stick with it.

Those of you who are in Paris, please consider this a conversation starter for discussion over fine food & wine.  Happy bikeshedding.
