Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Handling of @font-face rule which lacks font-family or src descriptor

The CSS Working Group just discussed `font-face without src`, and agreed to the following resolutions:

* `RESOLVED: font face rules should be in the om, apply for font settings, but should not be used for font matching`
* `RESOLVED: font face rules should be in the om, but should not be used for font matching (correction of previous statement)`

&lt;fremy> Topic: font-face without src<br>

&lt;fremy> myles_: for a long time, at font face without src is ignored<br>
&lt;fremy> myles_: which means it is a parse error and is not there anymore<br>
&lt;fremy> dbaron: i would argue ignored could mean it's there in the om but then does nothing<br>
&lt;fremy> myles_: ok, I think it doesn't matter for what I want to think about<br>
&lt;fremy> myles_: in some cases, you can have font faces to alter font properties<br>
&lt;fremy> myles_: and all browsers accept to do that<br>
&lt;fremy> myles_: so I would like the text to be changed to say that the font face rule should not be used for font matching<br>
&lt;fremy> myles_: but should apply otherwise<br>
&lt;fremy> dbaron: i think that is the sensible way to "ignore" them<br>
&lt;fremy> TabAtkins: I have a follow-up question about whether we should apply a similar reasoning to invalid counter styles<br>
&lt;fremy> dbaron: it would make sense to me<br>
&lt;fremy> myles_: I cannot say that this matches browsers in that case, i have not tested<br>
&lt;fremy> TabAtkins: sounds good, but we could decide on a principle and update if needed<br>
&lt;fremy> Alan: what is the proposition then?<br>
&lt;fremy> myles_: (repeats previous proposal)<br>
&lt;fremy> RESOLVED: font face rules should be in the om, apply for font settings, but should not be used for font matching<br>
&lt;fremy> RESOLVED: font face rules should be in the om, but should not be used for font matching (correction of previous statement)<br>
&lt;astearns> s/, apply for font settings//<br>
