neilj has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-fonts] Font matching algorithm; issue with weight selection == This issue is related to the font-weight section of the font-matching algorithm (https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/blob/master/css-fonts/Fonts.html#L3383). When an exact match is not available for the specified weight, I believe the browser should instead choose the *nearest* available weight (with rules for tie-breaks obviously). This is very useful when you need to have multiple fallback fonts for different platforms, and one font has weights 400,500,700 (say), and another 400,600,700. For semi-bold text I want 500 from the first font, or 600 if the second font. The logical way to do this is to specify `font-weight: 550`, however with the current algorithm this would map to 700 rather than 500 in the first font. There is no way to specify this choice with the current algorithm. Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1701 using your GitHub account
