gsnedders has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-fonts] Do generic fonts resolve to a single font face value? == See https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#generic-font-families and https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#font-matching-algorithm Are: * `<p style='font-face: serif' lang='en'>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>` * `<p style='font-face: serif' lang='jp'>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>` Guaranteed to render the same? The spec seems to imply, without directly stating, in various places that the generic font is a specific, probably user-specifiable font-face, which implies that they should. This is, I believe, not true in any browser: a Latin font is selected for the former, a Japanese font for the latter. (Ref https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/6926 which made me realise this is unspecified behaviour.)
